Airtel Kenya is betting on the recent network upgrade and addition of sites in 20 counties to meet the regulatory minimum threshold on quality of calls across the country.

The telco has in the last seven months upgraded over 600 network sites located in both rural and urban centres and added over 400 new sites, shows the Communications Authority of Kenya (CA) report that scored its voice quality lowest after Safaricom and Telkom Kenya.
