Chinese vendor ZTE has partnered with Orange Liberia to deploy more than 100 communication sites in rural areas of the country.
In total, ZTE said it took three months to deploy 128 sites for the telco.
According to the vendor, the sites employ low-power-consumption, wide-coverage wireless base station equipment supporting the 800MHz and 900MHz bands.
The sites offer 2G voice services for users in remote areas of Liberia and also support 4G data services.
ZTE notes that each site integrates solar energy and smart lithium batteries, enhanced with PowerPilot AI energy-saving software, to achieve energy-efficient network construction.
The vendor claims that more than 580,000 subscribers will have access to the sites.
"This project demonstrates our commitment to providing better communication services to the people of Liberia. We will continue to work with partners like ZTE to advance Liberia's telecommunications sector," said Jean Marius Yao, CEO of Orange Liberia.
"Despite facing challenging conditions, including underdeveloped infrastructure and harsh climates, the delivery teams from both companies overcame numerous unforeseen obstacles to ensure the project's successful completion," added Zhang Guanzhen, CEO, ZTE Orange MEA Account.
Orange currently serves more than two million mobile subscribers in Liberia.
