AWCC activates 4G internet services in Nangarhar’s Shirzad district

Afghan Wireless Communication Company (AWCC) officials say they have activated 4G internet services for the first time in Shirzad district of Nangarhar province.

Attaullah Sahil, head of AWCC in the eastern zone, said that this company has decided to expand telecommunication and internet services in Nangarhar in the future.

The local officials also welcomed this move of Afghan Wireless and said that the residents of this district were deprived of telecommunication services for the past 20 years.

This area used to be a war zone. Here, people did not use the internet. It is hoped that people’s problems will be resolved with the activation of 4G internet services,” said Shukrullah Sedaqat, deputy police command in Nangarhar.

The local residents, while thanking the officials of Afghan Wireless, have asked them to further expand the services of this company in this district.

“We are very grateful to the employees of Afghan Wireless,” said a Nangarhar resident.

“We are very happy, we want such cooperation to continue,” said another resident.

Since the IEA’s takeover, AWCC has covered not only Nangarhar but also many remote areas of eastern provinces such as Kunar, Laghman and Nuristan, which in the past did not have telecommunication services due to war and insecurity.
