Vodafone Cameroon and Cameroon Telecommunications (CAMTEL) have signed a strategic national network sharing agreement which sees the next-generation operator expand its 4G coverage to residents of Douala, Yaounde and other cities of the country.

The terms of the agreement stipulate that Vodafone Cameroon will make use of CAMTEL’s existing network infrastructure, which covers 100% of both Douala and Yaoundé cities, allowing Vodafone to expand its geographical coverage and indoor connectivity for a significantly improved customer experience.

Speaking at the signing ceremony, Vodafone Cameroon CEO, Mr. Antoine Pamboro said, “We are excited to partner with CAMTEL to bring world-class internet services closer to people. This expansion of our 4G footprint demonstrates that we are suitably positioned to play a pivotal role in supporting digital transformation and development of ICT in Cameroon.”

CAMTEL’s CEO, Mr. David Nkoto Emane noted that the cooperation agreement with Vodafone Cameroon is a strong step in Camtel’s progress to become an integrated operator and reflects the growing demand for high-speed internet services.

“This cooperation assures Camtel’s strategic objective of providing its customers with practical options and innovative solutions through strategic partnerships in our local market; it is based on our two organizations’ shared understanding and belief that all Cameroonians deserve to experience topnotch internet services. Additionally, it is valuable for our strategy and commercial development, as Vodafone is a world class brand with high quality standards and great ambitions in Cameroon,” he said. Vodafone Cameroon now covers fully Douala and Yaoundé with plans to expand its LTE network further.
