Communication giants, Vodafone Ghana has on Monday, launched the Vodafone Fibre Broadband as part the company’s SuperNet initiative.

The SuperNet initiative launched last week, is aimed at investing and ensuring that Ghanaians have affordable, reliable and efficient communication at homes and offices.

The Fibre Broadband provides 10 times faster internet connectivity and currently 1000 homes have been connected within 20 communities across Ghana under the project.

Speaking at the launch, Chief Executive Officer(CEO) of Vodafone Ghana, Yolanda Cuba said the move is also part of efforts to ignite Ghana’s digital revolution.

She said, the Vodafone Fibre Broadband is positioning Vodafone as a total communications provider for home and businesses.

“This new technology, which is changing the phase of internet connection to homes across the world, will be delivered using our state-of-the-art fibre optic infrastructure and will transform communities in Ghana as it will enable customers to get so much more within limited time like never before,” she stated.

“As the premier telecom company operating a fixed network in Ghana, it has been our determination and commitment to always bring customers the best of experience. Across the world, the transition to fibre for the home has become commonplace and we see this deployment as a demonstration of Vodafone SuperNet in action,” she added.

According to the CEO, they are partnering communities and real estate developers at key locations across the country to deliver the new technology.

She encouraged developers and home owners to make provision of telecom service the third utility after water and electricity and patronize Vodafone’s package.

The connection she said depending on the occupants of a house would cause between GHC150 to GHC180 per month.

CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunications, Kwaku Sakyi-Addo lauded the initiative stating that the Fibre to the Home(FTTH) product is one of the most advanced forms of technology for building the next generation of communication networks around the world.

“It offers far greater reliability, lower operating costs, lower energy use to run the network and – perhaps most important of all – much greater bandwidth,” he stated.

“I want to commend Vodafone Ghana for playing its part in making sure we achieve our purpose by providing reliable and affordable internet to consumers - for their homes, offices and on-the-go,” he stated.

The use of fibre he said would also avoid the issue of cable theft which usually cause interactions in communication.
