Information about the project
Connect the Unconnected Ghana rural network project
In Ghana, 20% of population (5.4 million) is not covered by wireless networks.The goal of this project is to solve the coverage problem of the uncovered area of wireless signal and to meet the needs of people's communication in Ghana. Moreover, the project aims to promote the development of rural areas through communication and data services. Under this goal, we need to ensure that operators can increase revenue, reduce expenditure, and shorten the ROI in this project. Thus give operators impetus to have the desire to build more base stations in order to meet the needs of rural communications. The project helps accelerate the construction of the rural network, solve the communication needs of the rural signal uncovered areas. Meantime, it also promotes social, educational and financial development; advocates the use of clean energy; reduces energy pressure and protects the ecological environment. The project finally achieves a win-win situation between three parties of the Government, the rural people and the operators.
