Telecel Ghana network infrastructure developments

Overview

Telecel Ghana has experienced both infrastructure challenges and significant expansion efforts. In early October 2026, a double fibre cut caused by road contractor excavation disrupted services for approximately 72,754 subscribers across the Central Region, impacting 181 Radio Access Network sites.

Later in the month, Telecel Group announced a $200 million, three-year strategic partnership with Huawei to expand its telecommunications infrastructure. This agreement, formalized in Shanghai, focuses on network expansion and mobile broadband densification, with Ghana serving as a primary market for the investment.
