Telecel Ghana boosts network connectivity on UHAS campus
Telecel Ghana has strengthened its network infrastructure at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS) in the Volta Region with the commissioning of a dedicated 4G cell site.
The move has resulted in the expansion of network capacity and improving high-speed mobile connectivity across the university campus and neighbouring areas.
The project forms part of the telecom operator’s nationwide network expansion programme to deliver faster and more reliable connectivity across the country.
The new site was activated ahead of the arrival of more than 2,000 incoming first year students to strengthen network capacity across campus and support the growing digital learning environment, online collaboration and research activities. The proactive deployment also ensured that the network was fully tested and ready to support the activation of the new tertiary students.
Head of Networks at Telecel Ghana, Anthony Sam, said the new site reflects the telecom operator’s strategy of investing in high-demand digital communities where reliable connectivity directly supports education, innovation and economic development.
“UHAS is one of Ghana’s growing centres for research and healthcare education, with a connected student population that depends on reliable connectivity. This dedicated 4G site significantly increases network capacity on campus to support virtual learning, research and everyday digital experiences. It is part of our broader strategy to continuously strengthen our network where demand is growing,” he explained.
The UHAS deployment forms part of Telecel Ghana’s ongoing network modernisation drive, which has seen the telco deliver over 1,000 network enhancement projects nationwide this year.
These include capacity upgrades, Multi-Operator Core Network (MOCN) deployments, upgrades from 3G to 4G and newly activated sites, all aimed at improving network speed, coverage and customer experience across Ghana.
Head of Customer Operations at Telecel Ghana’s Enterprise Business Unit, Jerry Ayeduvor, said activating the site ahead of the university’s student onboarding was key to delivering a seamless customer experience from day one.
President of the Federal Students Representative Council, Edward Benevolent Nyamekye, also noted that the improvement had been immediately noticeable and made student life more enjoyable.
“The inception of the Telecel mast has gone a long way to help curb connectivity issues for calls and internet connectivity. Thank you Telecel for making UHAS campus a great one to be at,” he said.
