Tigo completes mobile broadband coverage in 160 district

Telecommunication Company, Tigo, has said it has completed deploying mobile broadband coverage to over 160 districts across the country. 

This forms part of several investments to improve on network quality and boost customer experience among Tigo subscribers. 

The multi-million dollar project which began toward the end of last year includes several district capitals in all 10 regions of the country: namely Ashanti, Greater Accra, Northern, Volta, Brong Ahafo, Western, Central, Upper East, Upper West and Eastern Regions.

“The expansion work will not only increase our coverage footprints but also enhance network quality, which is core to Tigo’s operations and essential to customer satisfaction. 

“The decision to invest heavily in building a quality and robust network is to boost business and customer experience and ensure that we give customers value for money,” said the CEO, Roshi Motman. 

She emphasized the company is undertaking a rapid network transformation that will enable it to become more competitive and attractive to new and existing customers.

Tigo Ghana in 2013 invested over 10 million dollars in improving network coverage and quality in over 750 communities across the country. 

This was in addition to expansion of the Accra Metro Fibre project, which boosted their broadband capacity and connected them to the West African Cable system for Internet Backbone capabilities. A similar project was also carried out in Kumasi with a 40km fibre-optic metro network.
