Ethiopia telecom announces solution for its poor mobile service
The Ethiopian Telecommunications Corporation (ETC) said yesterday it was working on upgrading its network in a bid to centralize the mobile service and improve the overall quality of service in Addis Ababa.
The corporation anticipated that quality-related inconveniencies, including poor voice quality, call termination or flouting, noise interference and other problems would be resolved upon completion of the project.
The corporation said in a statement that the previous mobile network capacity, which was less than one million, would grow to 2.5 million as a result the new expansion project.
Over 80 percent of the network segregation work has already been completed, and ETC said the optimization work, which is under way at some 400 stations in Addis Ababa, is expected to be completed within a few weeks.
Alongside the efforts in segregation and optimization, in order to sustain its services during times of power supply shortage in Addis Ababa, the corporation said it has deployed generators at 150 of its stations.
The corporation has also plans under way to install more facilities at the rest of its stations.
