CA plans rollout of cell towers in 12 counties to boost coverage
A telecommunications tower. For many years, residents of Endoinyo Erinka village in Narok South have struggled with persistent mobile phone network issues.
The Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) has moved to purchase equipment for the rollout of cellular network coverage in 12 counties that are unserved or underserved with mobile network infrastructure.
The authority has called for bids for firms to undertake construction of communication towers that host Base Transceiver Station (BTS) equipment and establishment of backhaul transmission links to operators’ Base Station Controllers (BSCs) and the core networks to be built within 24 months.
