“We are investing significantly in the distribution of our capacity within Tema, a major business district of Ghana, where demand for connectivity and other value added services is growing. Our plan is to continue to invest in infrastructure that will enable us extend our reliable connectivity and rich array of value added services across other areas in Ghana.
This expansion is part of our strategy and commitment towards assisting Ghanaian businesses in their quest for improved productivity and efficiency through dedicated and reliable connectivity services, as well as accelerating the rate of broadband penetration across Ghana,’’ Oladepo stated.
Mr. Oladepo reiterated the company’s commitment to the current operational improvements and future growth plans of its customers and he also stressed MainOne’s commitment to improve its network reach and provide broadband internet access to customers.
“MainOne’s vision for a connected West Africa is to accelerate the penetration of reliable and affordable broadband internet services to support socio-economic development in the region,” he said.

This is the second time the company is building key telecoms infrastructure in Tema. In August 2015, the company built fibre infrastructure to the data centers of Blu Telecom and Surfline respectively, and pledged to extend its reach into the region to enhance the development of enterprise businesses.
MainOne has invested over $300 million since 2009 in developing ICT infrastructure in West Africa in line with its commitment to create an enabling environment for broadband penetration across the region.
