Ethiopian telecommunications provider Ethio Telecom announced that it has launched 4G mobile internet service in 77 new cities across the country, bringing the total number of 4G LTE user cities to 417. In a statement, the company said it has undertaken its 4G LTE mobile internet service expansion to enable more customers to access high-speed data.
Ethio Telecom said the expansion targets various regional cities with high data traffic growth, and the company says it is dedicated to expanding its 4G LTE service and making a wide range of efforts.
"Our company is committed to continuously expanding various infrastructures and deploying state-of-the-art technologies to simplify the daily lives of citizens and modernize work systems, thereby driving the digital economy and promoting the multifaceted development of the nation," Ethio Telecom said.
