Airtel Uganda commissions 29 4G towers
Airtel Uganda has commissioned 29 new 4G telecom towers with the support of American Tower Corporation (ATC) and Ubuntu. This will allow the company to improve the coverage of its network, as well as the quality of services provided to customers.
In December 2020, Airtel Uganda acquired a national telecom license valid for 20 years for US$74.6 million under the new licensing regime adopted by the state in 2019. The company is required to cover 90% of the national territory within five years of the effective date of the license.
The construction of new towers should allow Airtel Uganda to reach millions of additional subscribers and strengthen its position on the Ugandan telecom market.
