Afghan Wireless recently announced that they have completed the first ever high capacity digital Microwave Ring around the country.

This is the first Microwave Ring across the country in the history of Afghanistan, covering a distance of 2,500 Kilometers and millions of dollars of investment. It passes through 18 provinces providing direct coverage and connectivity to the population residing in surrounding areas. The ring ensures excellent quality coverage to 31 provinces, more than 250
towns, cities, highways and ensures world class GSM service to the largest
customer base in Afghanistan.

Afghan Wireless Microwave Ring is Afghanistan’s largest network providing Voice and Data interconnect through high speed terrestrial links. The Afghan Wireless Microwave Ring connects the North of the Country in Mazar, Takhar, Badakshan and Kunduz to Kabul over the Salang, which is further connected in the South to Kandahar and Spinboldak. The ring further
extends West from Kandahar, passing through Hilmand, Nimroz and Farah, to reach Herat. It also extends from Herat to Mazar via Badghees, Faryab and Jawjan provinces. In the East, the ring connects Kabul to Jalalabad and the Turkham Border, along with the Kunar Valley. It also connects Gardez and Khost in the South East of the country.

It sounds as if progress is well on its way, even in Afghanistan. This network also connects with Uzbekistan and Tajakistan borders in the North and to the Pakistan borders in the South and East. It also connects to the Iran border in the West. It proudly owns one of the world’s Highest GSM sites at Salang (3980m AMSL). The ring probably has the longest link of 187km
