Telecommunication network infrastructure determines the strength of a country for successful communication with other parts of the world. Due to the rapid increase of internet usage and mobile communication in every part of the world, specifically the third world countries, Nigeria is among the countries that is advancing in the used of telecommunication contraptions. The Nigerian Telecommunication Industries play a vital role in boosting the social and economic infrastructure of the country. This paper is aimed at investigating the Telecommunication Network infrastructure in the Northwestern part of Nigerian and propose some technologies that increase data bandwidth and internet penetration in the region. Problems and future solutions to the existing network infrastructure in the province were discussed and basic analysis is conducted to justify the importance of the study. Mobile market analysis, current infrastructure, parameters evaluation and the way forward to the problems are discussed. Comparative analysis between the existing network infrastructure that is 3G networks and the proffer solution to the existing standard which is 4G network is also conducted. This paper also conducts an analysis on the existing Network providers in the region with their draw backs and the quality of services they provide to the customers within the region. The paper concludes with a future plan of coming up with an analytical solution in order to study the implementation process of a full 4G network in the Northwest region of Nigeria and to use a simulated environment to test the proposed model for viability.
