He told ZANIS in an interview that the company is currently upgrading its transmission site from Sesheke in Western Province to Solwezi in North-Western Province with the view of building capacity.

“We will have 30 4.5g mobile towers and 80 GRZ towers country wide just in the first three months of this year.

He was quick to mention that internet access challenges that schools, hospitals and other institutions were facing in remote areas will soon be the thing of the past due to the robust project that Zamtel is implementing.

The tower installation project is part of the $280million government released to Zamtel.
