KATHMANDU, JANUARY 4
Telecommunications service provider Ncell has expanded its 4G network nationwide by installing 250 new towers and upgrading capacity at 2,200 existing sites over the past year.
The company said the expansion focused on improving service quality in local and micro markets across all seven provinces, with major additions in Madhesh, Lumbini, Koshi and Bagmati. More than 100 new towers were installed in Madhesh Province alone, followed by Lumbini and Koshi.
According to Ncell, 197 towers were installed in the last two and a half months of the year, while 53 sites were activated through the use of spare and stock equipment during periods of equipment import restrictions.
Chief Consumer Business Officer Upanga Dutta said the expansion aims to improve access to mobile broadband and voice services, particularly in underserved and remote areas. Ncell stated that its 4G service now covers all 77 districts and reaches over 95 percent of Nepal's population.
Launched in 2017, Ncell's 4G network is positioned as a key infrastructure supporting digital access for education, business and communication nationwide.
