TNM wins regional award
Capital Finance International has named TNM the best mobile operator in the South Eastern Africa region.
Making the announcement, Jackie Chapman, Production Director for Capital Finance said the judging panel ranked TNM highly as an important driver of Malawi’s sustained development through its cutting edge innovative offerings in the internet space.
According to Chapman, TNM rolled out its state-of-the-art 4G LTE network that ensures fast and reliable connections in Lilongwe and the surrounding area which has now expanded to include Malawi’s four main urban areas, including Blantyre, Mzuzu, and Zomba and the company is now well on track to offer nationwide coverage.
“The 4G LTE platform offers users not only access to services previously unavailable—such as video conferencing and streaming—but also offers significant cost savings. TNM has spared no effort at streamlining its interaction with customers, simplifying procedures, and eliminating bureaucracy in a successful attempt to better engage with customers and improve overall user experience,” Chapman said.
TNM Chief Executive Officer, Douglas Stevenson, said it was an honour and source of inspiration to be recognised internationally.
