Globacom has continued to carry out network improvement projects aimed at enhancing customer experience across the country. This will ensure that subscribers continue to get value for money especially with the recent tariff increment approved by regulatory authorities.

The network upgrade involves the deployment of new base stations to cover new locations

and densification to improve coverage in areas with growing population to guarantee

excellent network quality for both voice and data services all over the country.

Globacom is also relocating its fibre infrastructure in several locations where road

constructions across the country have had an impact on network quality. The locations

include Auchi-Okene, Benin-Ekpoma, Lafia-Akwanga, Minna-Abuja, and Funtua-Gusau. The

company is doing this at a huge cost in order to bring best-in-class services to customers, as

many of its fibre infrastructure had been breached and vandalized in several places by

uncoordinated road construction activities.

The exercises point to brighter days for Glo customers as it is also about to complete the

deployment of several hundreds of new sites across Nigeria. That aside, the network has

this year alone deployed thousands of 4G LTE sites across key cities and locations across the

country, while 150 new ones are being deployed currently to scale up the number.

To complement this, there has also been a massive upgrade of the backhaul capacity in

terms of microwave and fibre, as well as a well-planned improvement in the core network,

which is going on seamlessly.

The ongoing efforts will lead to enhanced service delivery, superior network quality, and

expanded coverage. Additionally, customers can expect faster data speeds and improved

overall network performance.

Globacom also plans to add over a thousand new sites over the next one year as well as

more LTE sites to the existing ones to deepen data reach. It is also focused on extending

fibre to many of its hub sites for greater reliability and a more robust service delivery.

The company is also focused on minimizing carbon emission in its operation with an

increasing expansion of hybrid power, relying more on battery power than the use of
