Ethio telecom has expanded its 4G LTE mobile broadband network to 52 additional towns across Ethiopia, extending high-speed connectivity to communities spanning Oromia, Amhara, Southern Ethiopia, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, Harari, Somali, Tigray and Afar regions.
According to details released by the operator, Oromia and Amhara account for the largest share of the newly connected towns, together representing roughly two-thirds of the latest rollout. Smaller expansions were also recorded in Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, Somali and Afar regions.
The regional spread reflects an ongoing effort to extend broadband access across both high-population areas and historically underserved communities, supporting broader digital connectivity objectives while increasing access to mobile broadband services.
The expansion comes amid an accelerated period of network modernization within Ethio telecom’s operations. In recent years, the operator has undertaken multiple LTE expansion projects and infrastructure upgrades designed to increase broadband coverage and improve service quality nationwide.
