Rural communities in and surrounding Ward 28, in West Kwaio, Malaita Province, will now be able to enjoy access to good network coverage after the successful installation of the Sinasu Tower on Wednesday, April 9.
The installation and activation of the tower, which was done in the middle of this week, has improved network coverage in the ward and provided access to essential information relating to the weather and updates about the province and country.
According to William Kaobata, the chairman of the Bonale landowners, who is behind the building and construction of the tower with the Huawei team, it was truly a milestone achievement for his people in Ward 28 and surrounding communities.
He said the new network coverage, rural entrepreneurs, students, and individuals can now rely on good network coverage to access information from their homes, unlike before.
“Now, we can access 4G network coverage at our homes, unlike before that we had to move to locations where good coverage was available, such as seaside areas and up in the hills, to make calls or do internet research,” he said.
Kaobata thanked the Huawei company, engineers, and locals who were part of the construction of the project.
He also acknowledged the partnership between Huawei, Solomon Tower Limited, and the Ministry of Communication and Aviation (MCA).
Island Sun understands that the Huawei tower will be launched sometime this month.
