Dublin, 8 April 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – The report "Ghana – Telecommunications, Mobile and Broadband – Statistics and Analysis" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com & # 39; s offer.
This report provides a comprehensive overview of trends and developments in Ghana's telecommunications market. The report badyzes the fixed-line, mobile and broadband sectors.
Ghana's telecommunications market has benefited from the privatization of the incumbent telecom operator, Ghana Telecom, and its new branding under the name of Vodafone Ghana. The company is the leading fixed line provider and the third largest mobile service provider, after MTN and AirtelTigo, recently merged. It remains a key investor in telecommunications infrastructure, supported by various government-funded programs to extend the reach of telecommunication services at the national level. Recent upgrades include an extension of the East Corridor as well as a new cable linking Burkina to Burkina Faso operated by Vodafone Wholesale.
The launch of LTE services by Vodafone Ghana in March 2019 and the extension of LTE-A services by MTN Ghana have significantly improved the quality of mobile data services for end-users. This has been reflected in a number of areas, including the highly developed areas of m-commerce and mobile banking. The dynamic mobile market has maintained a steady growth in the number of subscribers.
