NTC (Nepal Telecom) expands mobile signal coverage in remote areas of Sindhupalchowk and Kavre. From Kartik 19, Ntc brought the new mobile tower into operation in Lisankhu Pakhar, Sunkoshi of Sindhupalchowk and Bhumlu of Kavrepalanchowk. Previously there was no any mobile signal coverage in those areas. But now people can use their mobile for calling and internet with the Ntc GSM tower there.

Ntc established a new tower in the Baphal area for the Lisankhu village body of Sindhupalchowk to provide the service. Due to this, around 3 thousand customers in the area are benefited for the mobile service.

Ntc is giving more priority to expand mobile services in remote areas of the country with GSM mobile tower and service. It is also in line with Nepal Government’s policy to connect the remote areas to mobile network although the outcome from these areas will be low to the telecom company. But the investment for infrastructure and operation is very high in those areas. We must thank Nepal Telecom and its employees for putting a lot of effort to bring mobile service to these places.

Now only basic mobile service from 2G is available there. In the future, Ntc can also use this tower to add new technologies like 4G to provide high speed internet in these remote areas.
