Airtel Kenya Networks Ltd has bought 60 megahertz of additional spectrum in the 2600 MHz band from the Communications Authority of Kenya for $40 million.
The license for the spectrum is valid from July 2022, for a period of 15 years.
Airtel Africa says the additional spectrum will support its 4G network capacity expansion in the market for both mobile data and fixed wireless home broadband capability, and will allow for future 5G rollout.
In April this year, Airtel Kenya paid KSh1.13 billion to the Communications Authority of Kenya for a network license, as it sought to offer additional data services to customers without increasing bundle charges.
