Angola’s Unitel has expanded its 3G and 4G mobile network in the Cachingues municipality of Bié province, aiming to improve voice and data services for its customers. This upgrade is part of a larger network development plan encompassing further deployments beyond this initial area.

The company’s commitment to widespread coverage is evident in its current network reach. Unitel’s 2G network now covers 100% of Angola’s 164 municipalities and 54.7% of its communes. 3G service has been extended to 96.3% of municipalities and 47.1% of communes. The faster speeds and improved communication of 4G are available in 80.5% of municipalities and 35.9% of communes. However, 5G coverage remains relatively limited, currently reaching only 6.7% of municipalities and 2.8% of communes.

Unitel emphasizes its ongoing focus on enhancing service quality, creating a superior customer experience, and strengthening its market position within Angola’s telecommunications industry. The expansion into new areas reflects Unitel’s dedication to maintaining a leading position in the Angolan telecommunications sector.
