With the growth of data consumption in bigger cities across Myanmar, Telenor Myanmar Limited plans to roll out its 4G LTE network in all 14 states and regions as well as in the Naypyidaw Union Territory. The firm currently has 19 million subscribers in Myanmar and 62 per cent of them are active data users with an average usage of 2.7 GB on a monthly basis. It has now covered 92 per cent of the population, with its services available in 308 out of 330 townships in Myanmar.
To ensure the best possible experience for data and voice calls, the firm has 8,600 sites across the country with more than 6,100 sites being 4G compatible. Around 50 per cent of the sites are located in the Yangon and Mandalay regions. The company has invested around $2.7 billion in the country, with an investment of $200 million in getting more spectrum in the last two years.
