Mobile operator Vodacom says that it plans to invest R570 million into its network in the Western Cape to improve quality and capacity, while also extending its network coverage in both urban and rural areas.
“This network investment will continue to focus on further expansion of the 5G footprint, ongoing modernisation of the existing network infrastructure, and upgrading of base station sites with more LTE capacity throughout the province,” it said. With load shedding continuing to be a major network challenge and a significant source of additional cost to keep the network up, Vodacom said the energy investment will include more static generators and upgrading old batteries.
In March 2022, Vodacom South Africa acquired a total of 110 MHz high-demand spectrum as part of the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa’s auction and assignment process.
