We are pleased to announce the launching of LTE advanced service in South East Region – for the first time outside of the capital, Addis Ababa.

The LTE expansion has covered towns: Adama, Bishoftu, Mojo, Dukem, Gelan and Awash Melkasa, where high mobile data traffic has been observed. Given the reliability, high bandwidth and high speed features of LTE Advanced services,

we hope that it will enable and empower our customers to digitize their services, increase productivity and improve their experiences. We sincerely appreciate all our stakeholders who have provided required supports to realize the project within short period of time.

As clearly outlined in our three-years growth strategy, data traffic growth and demand based 4G/LTE expansion in Addis and regional towns is among the major strategic initiatives. Accordingly, over the next few months, we will be launching similar services in other parts of the country, for which preparation works are underway.

In this regard, we would like to call up on players in the ecosystem to capitalize this opportunity by providing useful contents & affordable handsets and join hands in realizing digital inclusion which paves the way for digital economy.
