Econet Wireless Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Mboweni, said in a statement that the commissioning would take place in the major cities of the country.
Mr. Mboweni said this would completely eliminate one of the major causes of congestion on their network and also upgrade the provision of data services, including 3G.
On 3G, Mboweni explained: “The current system is small and limited to the Harare area. By March, it will be fully national, and vastly improved in terms of capacity and speed. We will have a world class 3G system by the time we get to June”.
Mboweni added that while completion of the network upgrade and expansion had been the priority over the last 12 months in order to build a stable network, Econet Wireless management would place more focus on customer service quality.
He explained that there were three phases to the work on customer service among them building a system that is stable and congestion free, with the capability to provide the most up-to-date services available anywhere in the world.
