Somnet Telecom

Somnet Telecom initially focused on providing 3G services to its customers, providing a 3G network over B1 (2100 MHz) since launch in 2012. By 2017, the company had shifted its focus towards launching the country's first 4G network, marking a significant milestone in Somalia's telecommunications history.

Somnet Telecom made history on March 18, 2017, by launching the first 4G network in Somalia. This launch was a pivotal moment for the company and the country, as it enabled Somalis to resume internet services via mobile phones, which had been severely limited since 2004. The introduction of 4G technology provided faster and more reliable internet access, which was crucial for both urban and rural areas. Somnet Telecom's 4G network operates on various frequency bands, including 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, and 2600 MHz, as allocated by the National Communications Authority (NCA) in 2022. The company offers a variety of data packages, including unlimited data options, to cater to the diverse needs of its customers. The 4G network significantly improved the quality of internet services in Somalia, making it more accessible and affordable for the population.
