Airtel Uganda has extended its 4G service to Kassanda district as part of its continuing nationwide network expansion initiative, giving local companies and residents a quicker, more dependable network experience.
Soumendra Sahu, the managing director of Airtel Uganda, recently visited Kassanda to meet with customers, agents, and community members in order to observe directly the effects of the recently added network sites.
The telecom company announced on Thursday that call quality and data experience enhancements are already having an impact, helping local businesses, expanding access to digital services, and facilitating more affordable community connections.
“Our goal is simple: to deliver a brilliant network experience to all customers across Uganda, without differentiation,” Mr. Sahu shared during the visit. “We are not just building infrastructure—we are enabling economic participation, access to knowledge, and deeper human connection.”
Data Saver feature
Mr. Sahu also showed clients how to better control their data usage in Bukuya by demonstrating the Data Saver feature on cell phones.
The meeting emphasised Airtel Uganda’s dedication to guaranteeing affordability and digital literacy in addition to increasing access.
Airtel is actively interacting with communities throughout Uganda as part of its commitment to provide quick, inexpensive, and inclusive connection to all regions of the nation. The Kassanda tour is one of many such initiatives.
With every new site launched, Airtel Uganda keeps giving people, families, and businesses the resources they require to prosper in a world that is more reliant on technology.
Kamuli District’s 4G network sites near completion
Similarly, Airtel Uganda said that new 4G network sites in Kamuli District’s Nabirumba and Butabala Trading Centres are almost finished.
These sites are currently prepared to launch, providing underprivileged populations with faster and crystal clear internet.
The MD, Soumendra Sahu, had the honour of touring these regions on Thursday in order to observe directly the transformational potential of this growth.
It is evident that this project is about more than simply technology—it is about empowering businesses, education, and livelihoods—from interacting with local leaders to managing the last phases of infrastructure development.
This initiative is in line with the telecom company’s nationwide effort to close network gaps by 2025, which is backed by public-private partnerships, which have been shown to increase rural connection by as much as 30 per cent.
Projects such as this are essential because only 28 percent of Ugandans have access to the internet.
Additionally, research indicates that by improving market access, mobile network growth can increase local economies by 15 per cent.
Airtel Uganda stated, “A huge thanks to the local communities, and partners like Uganda Communications Commission and Ministry of ICT & National Guidance for making this possible.”
