Safaricom Ethiopia just flipped the switch on its network across Bale Zone, bringing mobile service to a bunch of new towns. Places like Robe, Goba, Dinsho, and over ten others are now covered. This is a big step in the company's plan to build out a national network.
The system runs on a quality 4G setup, backed by forty-two transmission towers and fiber optic cables. It is built to handle 5G eventually. The network allows for normal calls and texts between different carriers and includes international roaming. More than three hundred local jobs have already been created from this project, with that number expected to hit around twelve hundred as work continues. People can get services from sixteen Safaricom shops and many M-Pesa agents.
The company stated this expansion shows its focus on reaching areas without good service, boosting local economies, and pushing digital inclusion. It is part of building a stronger nationwide telecom system ready for the future.
