The launch of 4G LTE technology by MTN makes it the first mobile telecommunications operator in Ghana to offer 4G service.

Mohammed Rufai, Chief Technical Officer of MTN Ghana said, “MTN embarked on the 4G LTE project to create a distinct customer experience and provide superior data services to its customers. The project is also in line with our vision to lead the delivery of a bold new digital world. We are glad the investments are contributing to improved data speed for businesses and customers.”
