Ethio Telecom expands 4G LTE coverage
Ethio Telecom’s 4G LTE service expansion across the nation is a significant step towards fostering a robust digital economy. By reaching 417 cities, the company ensures that high-speed internet access is no longer confined to urban centers but is widely available throughout the country. This widespread availability of 4G LTE service is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it enables citisens in remote and underserved areas to access online resources, educational materials, and digital services that were previously out of reach. This democratisation of digital access can lead to increased productivity, innovation, and economic opportunities, as more people can participate in the digital economy. Secondly, businesses can now operate more efficiently and competitively, with the ability to reach a broader customer base and implement advanced digital solutions. This not only boosts local businesses but also attracts foreign investment, contributing to the overall economic growth of the nation.
We will commit our resources and efforts towards satisfying our customers and continuously enhancing their experience by providing various service options.

The expansion of 4G LTE service also plays a pivotal role in promoting green growth. Green growth refers to fostering economic development while ensuring that natural assets continue to provide the resources and environmental services on which our well-being relies. By providing high-speed internet access, Ethio Telecom is enabling a shift towards more sustainable practices. Furthermore, the availability of high-speed internet facilitates telecommuting, which can decrease the need for daily commuting, thereby reducing traffic congestion and pollution. Thus, Ethio Telecom’s 4G LTE service is not only driving the digital economy but also supporting environmentally sustainable growth, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change and promote sustainable development.
