Massive upgrade to MTN Data Network
MTN’s General Manager for Data Services, Brian Seligman, said that the company is now moving into the second phase of its 3G deployment, where the number of 3G base stations will be tripled.
Seligman stated that over 1000 new 3G sites will be added to their current tally of 3G towers in this phase of deployment, with a few hundred set to go live in the next few weeks.
This rollout will significantly expand MTN’s current footprint in major cities, as well as add new areas to their current inventory.
MTN will also be increasing its EDGE footprint countrywide with nearly 1000 new sites being added to its already extensive coverage.
Apart from a dramatic increase in sites, MTN is also in the process of a big upgrade to its data network core.
This upgrade will not only serve to accommodate the expansion of its 3G and general data footprint, but should also serve to improve the quality of service for existing data users.
