As part of its KSh.1 Billion network expansion and optimisation programme, Telkom Kenya is upgrading its network’s capacity in five towns – Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nakuru and Eldoret. This network expansion according to the Telco will also include the IP Core expansion from 30Gigabit to 100Gigabit that will offer a better experience to Internet users.
Telkom’s Chief Technical and Information Officer, John Barorot, says that the expansion and optimisation programme is geared towards the consistent delivery of high-quality service to all its customers across the country.
“Delivering value to our customers is at the core of what we do at Telkom. It all begins with a quality and reliable network through which customers from across the country can experience our offerings.” Mr. Barorot says.
“There may be pockets of network interruption during the execution of this specific upgrade but our customers and Kenyans should look forward to an even more superior experience once done,” he adds.
The network upgrade covers both 3G and 4G sites in the five mentioned urban areas with a targeted focus on metros as well as areas around universities and colleges.
Some 3G sites have been earmarked for upgrade to 4G, with the upgrade partly driven by a spike in smartphone users.
