The Ho Municipal Assembly has received Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) equipment from GIFEC, to improve digital connectivity in underserved communities.
The intervention is aimed at addressing persistent network challenges affecting communication and access to digital services across parts of the municipality.
Mr Stephen Adom, the Municipal Chief Executive of Ho said the equipment, which uses Real-time Transport Protocol technology, would enhance the transmission of audio and video over internet networks for services such as virtual communication and streaming.
The beneficiary communities included Akoefe, Tokokoe, Hodzo, Avee, and Lume, where residents had long complained about weak and unreliable network access.
Mr Adom noted that the support formed part of broader efforts to bridge the digital divide and promote inclusive development.
“This intervention will significantly improve communication and digital access in the beneficiary communities,” he stated.
He explained that improved connectivity would facilitate access to education, healthcare information, and business opportunities, particularly for young people and entrepreneurs.
Mr Adom expressed appreciation to the Ghana Investment Fund for Electronic Communications (GIFEC) for the support, describing it as timely and impactful.
He reaffirmed its commitment to working with stakeholders to expand digital infrastructure and ensure equitable access to communication services.
He added that the initiative would contribute to socio-economic growth by enhancing information flow and connectivity across the municipality.
