Airtel Africa is expanding its strategic partnership with Ericsson to enable 4G coverage in Kenya.

The modernization deal will drive the simplification and upgrade of the existing network and future-proof it for the anticipated rapid mobile expansion in the country.

With Ericsson Radio System and Packet Core solutions, Airtel Kenya’s network will have 4G coverage, while driving enhanced use cases in both the consumer and the enterprise segments.

Ericsson technology shall make the network in Kenya ready for 5G  deployment.

Prasanta Das  Sarma, CEO at Airtel Kenya says: “Robust and secure communications are an essential component of a digital society in Kenya.

“We are firmly anchored to the strategy of delivering reliable connections across the country and are looking forward to expanding the high-quality mobile broadband services to our subscribers.”

Fadi Pharaon, President of Ericsson Middle East and Africa, says: “Together with Airtel, we will implement this project that aims to establish an advanced LTE network in Kenya, providing Airtel’s customers with an enriched experience – both in the consumer and business segments.

“Through this partnership, we reaffirm our ambition to set #AfricaInMotion by partnering with Airtel to grow and support an increasingly digitalized society in Kenya.”
