Movitel has turned mobile communication into a basic need in the lower living standard measure (LSM) population groups by making its services widely accessible and affordable. Its unique strategy of investing in large, greenfield networks to cover the entire country, including rural and remote areas of Mozambique, will lead to sustainable social development. This will not only benefit the community, but also widen Movitel's customer base. Mozambique has a vast geographic area with low population density, which requires high investment and an intricate roll out of network infrastructure, especially in the rural areas. While competing telecom service providers prefer to focus on urban areas, Movitel has built 2,500 2G/3G base stations and deployed 20,000 km of fibre optical cables, enabling it to cover 100 percent of Mozambique's districts and highways, and in the process, serve nearly 80 percent of the total population.
