MTN Congo has signed a contract with the government as part of the World Bank-backed Digital Transformation Acceleration Project (PATN). The telecoms company will connect 185 rural localities with the deployment of new telecoms sites and migrate 76 telecoms sites from 2G to 3G.

“I see in the signing of this contract, much more than an administrative act, our determination to modernize digital infrastructures, to improve access to reliable electronic communications services, and to connect the most remote areas of our territory,” said Léon Juste Ibombo, Minister of Posts, Telecommunications and the Digital Economy.

With the deployment of the new sites in 185 rural areas, MTN is targeting 404,000 inhabitants. This should enable it to strengthen its leading position in the national telecoms market.
