ZAMTEL has completed putting up the optic fibre network from Kazungula through Katimamulilo to the Namibian optic Fibre network.
Chief commercial officer Amon Jere announced the development at the just ended 54th Copperbelt Mining, Agriculture and Commercial Show (CMACS) in Kitwe at the weekend.
Mr Jere said what had remained was to switch on the optic fibre network.
He said this would allow access to the under sea cable with high internet and data capacity.
The integrated Zesco/Zamtel network has advanced and the 3G network equipment has started arriving in Zambia.
He said Zamtel would start switching on the 3G sites next month to give customers access to affordable broadband internet line.
This would give Zamtel competitive edge in the mobile internet service industry.
Mr Jere said Zamtel wanted to play a role in prosperity on the Copperbelt by enabling its customers to do business cost effective and efficient.
