Vodafone Ghana has emerged as a winner in the recent bid for 4G spectrum license in Ghana. This was recently confirmed by the National Communications Authority (NCA).
According to the NCA in a statement issued, “The National Communications Authority (NCA) announces for the information of the general public that Ghana Telecommunications Company Limited (Vodafone Ghana) has won one (1) lot of 2×5 MHz frequency spectrum block in the 800 MHz Band for mobile services following successful financial negotiations.”
This means that Vodafone would start providing 4G services to its customers very soon.
Vodafone is paying thirty million dollars ($30,000,000) for the license.
In September this year, the NCA opened for Request for Applications for three lots of 2 by 5 Megahertz in the 800 Megahertz band.
Two companies submitted applications, with Vodafone emerging as the only successful applicant.
MTN bought the first of two 4G licenses in 2015 at a cost of 67.5 million dollars.
