Airtel Uganda has expanded its network coverage in Kabale Municipality by commissioning five new sites, reinforcing its commitment to providing superior connectivity in the greater Kigezi region.
The newly launched sites, located in Kyetobokeire, Kekuubo, Nyabushabi, Rwakabara, Ahakempu – Katuna Road, Irimbo – Katuna Road, Mwanjari, and Kigongi, are expected to enhance call clarity, improve coverage, and deliver faster internet speeds to Airtel customers in the area.
During the commissioning event, Airtel Uganda’s Sales Director, Mr. Wongani Muthayi, highlighted the company’s vision of bridging the digital divide and promoting economic transformation through reliable communication services.
“Connectivity is more than just a service; it is a gateway to cross-border regional trade, education, business growth, healthcare, and financial inclusion. We understand that for Kabale to continue thriving as a center of cross-border regional trade, education, and innovation, it needs a strong, reliable network. Today, we are proud to announce five new network sites that will improve coverage, enhance call clarity, and provide faster internet speeds for our customers in this region,” said Mr. Muthayi.
The expansion is expected to positively impact various sectors, including businesses, education, and agriculture, by providing residents with better access to digital opportunities. This development is further supported by Airtel Uganda’s extensive service infrastructure, which includes 96 Airtel Money branches, 3,400 agents, and two service centers within the region.
Speaking at the launch, Kabale Municipality Deputy Mayor Kedress Mutabazi, who represented the Chairman LC5, commended Airtel Uganda for addressing network challenges that had previously affected residents.
“I thank Airtel Uganda for thinking about the people of Kabale and expanding the network to support the growing economic activity. We have known Airtel for being affordable, but the network was a challenge, and for finally thinking about this and fixing it, I applaud you,” she said.
Airtel Uganda continues to invest in expanding its network infrastructure across the country to support national development and economic growth. As the preferred telecom partner for millions of Ugandans, the company remains dedicated to ensuring that every customer has access to affordable, high-quality communication services.
“We are grateful to the people of Kabale for their trust in Airtel Uganda. This investment is part of our broader strategy to enhance connectivity across Uganda, ensuring that no one is left behind in the digital revolution,” Mr. Muthayi concluded.
