Ncell expands 4G coverage with 20 new towers in 10 days

KATHMANDU: Ncell has expanded its 4G footprint after bringing 20 new towers into operation across several locations within the past 10 days. The roll-out enabled customers in those areas to enjoy enhanced voice quality and high‑speed data services.

Following the resumption of facilitation from the Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA), the company accelerated its tower installation efforts even during the festive season and successfully activated 20 new sites in record time. The addition of these towers ensures better network access and faster 4G connectivity for customers in the respective regions.

As part of its ongoing initiative to extend services and improve network quality, Ncell added new towers across several local levels, primarily in Madhesh Province, and also in Bagmati and Koshi provinces.

In Madhesh Province, Ncell has installed 13 towers at Parwanipur (Bara), Pokharia, Pakahamainpur and Birgunj (Parsa), Balan Bihul (Saptari), Janakpur, Kataiya, Kamala and Bideha (Dhanusha), Kaudena and Motipur (Sarlahi), and Yamunamai and Madhav Narayan (Rautahat).

Likewise, six towers were installed and brought into operation in Koshi Province at Inaruwa, Barju, Harinagar and Gadhi (Sunsari), and Babiyabirta and Majhare (Morang). One tower was activated in Hetauda (Makawanpur) of Bagmati Province.

“We were expanding and enhancing our 4G network in line with our commitment to enhance digital connectivity across Nepal. Ncell successfully brought 20 new towers in less than 10 days, ensuring wider access to modern mobile broadband and quality voice services. I am also pleased to share that within the next two days we planned to bring 10 more towers on air to better serve our customers. This expansion demonstrated Ncell’s ongoing commitment to strengthening its 4G network and improving access to reliable mobile services for communities nationwide,” said Upanga Dutta, Chief Consumer Business Officer of Ncell.

Even during the period when the import of new equipment was restricted, Ncell continued expanding and improving its services by installing and operating more than 40 new towers across different parts of the country using existing and spare equipment.

Under its ongoing 4G expansion and enhancement plan, Ncell aims to install over 170 additional towers across all provinces within the next two months. The continued rollout is expected to further strengthen network access and enhance the quality of service for customers nationwide.

Launched in May 2017, Ncell’s 4G service is designed to deliver world‑class connectivity and a superior customer experience through advanced technology. The service had been expanded to all 77 districts, providing 4G access to more than 95% of Nepal’s population.
