adminBrodacom is a provider of telephony, video and data services, providing services in Harare, Bulawayo and Chitungwiza.
The company will spread its coverage to major towns including Gweru, Kwekwe, Mutare and Masvingo, chief executive Mr Zachary Wazara, said in an interview at a function held by Broadacom on Tuesday.
Brodacom is interconnected to Telecel and Econet networks.
“We have imported equipment worth about $25 million which will see us achieving a total coverage in major towns and cities in the next six months. The equipment is already here,” said Mr Wazara.
The company, which is penetrating a market already dominated by three companies — Econet, Telecel and NetOne which offer similar services — is hoping to grow its subscriber base to 140 000 by year end.
An expansion to small towns, semi-urban and rural areas would need an estimated $15 million.
But network coverage can be provided for specific locations such as mines, schools or farming areas.
Spiritage, a local company with interests in pharmaceuticals, owns 60 percent of Brodacom. Two other local companies own the remainder.
