Currently, Mitratel has succeeded in accelerating its fiber network ownership of up to 26 thousand km as a result of organic and inorganic expansion.
Power To The Tower and Edge Infra Solution are new business initiatives that are being prepared as new growth engines for the company. The commercialization of our services is accelerated in line with the cellular network service development program from MNO. “Our entire portfolio strengthens Mitratel’s capacity to provide reliable and proven digital infrastructure in providing the best service (service excellence) to our customers, namely cellular operators,” said Teddy.
