The Ministry of Communications and Transport has improved communication system in Luwingu district by installing a new digital switch at ZAMTEL exchange to replace the analogue which was installed in early 1970s.
This was revealed by Luwingu District Commissioner, George Mwamba, who said the gesture will go a long way in alleviating communication problems faced by the district in the recent past.
Mr. Mwamba said the digital facility installed at the exchange has a provision for internet browsing which people should have access to.
Mr. Mwamba said following the improvement of communication system by ZAMTEL, the district will gain maximum development as many investors willing to invest in the district will no longer be complaining of lack of internet facilities.
“I am now inviting would-be investors to invest in the district as the area is now connected to the outside world through the provision of internet facilities at Zamtel offices,” added Mr. Mwamba.
He said the people of Luwingu are happy with the development which he said would enable them communicate effectively using internet services.
Northern Province ZAMTEL area manager, Fred Mwenya, confirmed that his company has installed a high speed digital switch which will carry, among other things the internet and fax facilities.
Mr. Mwenya said the demonstration on how to use the internet will be done at Luwingu high school next week in order to sensitize the community.

Good for them
A new switch is welcome. I hope the trasmission links are in place to carry the services to and from Luwingu. What about the external plant, your copper wires, or your wimax, WiLL to connect to this new Switch???
Thats good. The whole country needs to have digital systems installed. Dont get carried away by calling investors anyhow though. Tekanyeni.
Good news. Following “Northern Province ZAMTEL area manager, Fred Mwenya, confirmed that his company has installed a high speed digital switch which will carry, among other things the internet and fax facilities… Mr. Mwenya said the demonstration on how to use the internet will be done at Luwingu high school next week in order to sensitize the community”, is the DIGITAL SWITCH E10B or NEAX 61E or what exactly?
It must be understood that the ANALOGUE part is still effective in the actual signals although SWITCHING and TRANSMISSION has been upgraded to a digital level.
I would also like to congratulate ZAMTEL for the initiative to demonstrate what they mean exactly to the general public.
Ya big man i like yo comment, i wont say anything else. long time other wise. Panono panono Zamtel will support pull up yo sock
Good to know that there is some progress. DC George Mwamba should not thank ZAMTEL but urge them to reach Nsombo, Mporokoso, Shangombo etc. This move is not a gesture of good will by ZAMTEL, it is their responsibility to provide these services to rural areas. Long overdue.
