The telecommunications company announced the product on August 31 in Lagos, saying it is built around ODUs with an indoor component, powered by its 4G and 5G network capabilities.

According to the company, the units are designed to capture stronger signals in areas where indoor reception is weak, and fibre infrastructure is not yet available, extending high-speed internet to more locations.

MTN said the offering responds to growing demand for consistent connectivity among households, entrepreneurs, and remote workers as Nigeria’s digital economy expands. The company described FlyX as a plug-and-play solution requiring minimal installation, allowing users to connect quickly for streaming, remote work, and everyday digital activities.

Speaking on the launch, MTN Nigeria’s Chief Broadband Officer, Egerton Idehen, said the company’s focus was on building solutions that respond to real connectivity challenges.NigeriaInvestment Guide

“FlyX is a clear example of how we are using our network strength to rethink broadband delivery, making it faster to deploy, easier to access, and more responsive to the needs of Nigerians,” he said.

He added that the solution would allow the company to bridge critical gaps, particularly in areas without fibre, while still delivering the speed and reliability required for modern digital lifestyles.

MTN said the FlyX portfolio supported use cases ranging from streaming and gaming to remote work and business operations, with scalable options tailored to different needs. It said adding ODUs further improves signal reception and stability.

The company said the initiative was part of its broader strategy to deepen broadband penetration and drive digital inclusion across the country. The outdoor units, the company said, were available nationwide at authorised MTN stores.
