Nepal Telecom (NTC) has launched a mobile service in Tinka in the North-West border area. The company established its reliable network in the farthest settlement in the remote mountaneous region on Ashoj 16, 2080.

With the launch of the Ntc network in the region, the locals now have access to convenient mobile services on their devices.

Tinkar did have VSAT fixed-phone service from Ntc before. But now, mobile connectivity is available for the locals who can call on its 2G network.

Ntc started 2G mobile service via very small aperture terminal (VSAT) technology in Tinkar. The area lies in Byas Rural Municipality ward no. 1 in the Northwest border area with China in the Darchula district. The government-backed company brought telecom equipment from Attaraiya of Kailali, and Chhangru of Darchula. The network availability enables reliable voice and mobile internet service on 2G.

Prior to this, the area had two VSAT-based fixed phones for communication. However, the locals can now enjoy mobile service on their smartphones. Ntc uses VSAT technology to start mobile services in areas where 4G or Ntc Fiber net is hard to establish. Read in detail: 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G explained!!

However, the eventual plan is to transition to 4G across Nepal before the company launches 5G for the public in trial and commercial. Read in detail about Ntc 5G trial, expansion, and commercial launch plan

According to the company, 5 hundred customers have benefited from mobile service in Tinkar.  

Likewise, the Armed Police Force (APF) the police in the Local Police Office, and the tourists visiting the areas will also benefit from access to mobile connectivity.

An experienced tech writer covering news mostly on telecommunication, internet, latest tech & trends, and Gadgets. Being a technophile, I am particularly fascinated by the evolution of mobile networks in Nepal from legacy networks (2G, 3G) to 4G (with VoLTE, VoWiFi, eSIM) and the prospects of the upcoming 5G, and equally enthralled by the development of internet from the dial-up connection to the 2 Gbps XGS-PON fiber broadband technology and their transformative impact in the country.
