MTN Nigeria has announced its acquisition of an additional 10MHZ spectrum in the 800MHz band from Intercellular Nigeria Limited.

This was disclosed in a press release by the company, where it was also revealed that the transaction had been signed by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), and the frequency had been assigned to MTN Nigeria.

The 800MHz spectrum is a technology developed to enhance service delivery and also overcome the challenges and costs of digging trenches and right of way issues. The CDMA technology operating in the 800MHz band is capable of full mobility, which means easy connectivity.

While commenting on the acquisition, the CEO of MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, said that the acquisition would deepen their broadband penetration in the country and that the additional resources would help them provide better internet connectivity.

    MTN is one of the network I like so much. I so much like the upgrade. Please do you have an idea as a CEO of this network on the MTN Grant that we registered with 5,000.00. because I know MTN can never come up with something they cannot do exspecilly when it comes to do with the public. Thank you.
