Strong infrastructure, dedicated people: Vodafone Albania ensures connectivity even in emergency situations

The beginning of 2026 found Albania under the pressure of extreme weather. Heavy rain and snowfall have caused flooding, road blockages and isolation of residents in some areas of the country, creating civil emergency situations in some areas of the country.
In situations like these, connectivity becomes an even more vital tool for coordination, information, and safety in affected communities. A message sent, a phone call, an uninterrupted internet signal becomes more than technology. Connections are made, human connections are made. It gives you security, the feeling that you are not alone, even when the weather has isolated everything around you.
While emergency teams evacuate residents in the rain and snow, security forces and public services coordinate in real time, journalists and operators report from the field. In this chain of response, the communication network becomes the pillar that keeps everyone connected. That is why Vodafone Albania teams are always there, in action, to guarantee connectivity 24 hours a day.
For this high level of dedication and professionalism, Vodafone Albania's Network Director, Gentian Bajraktari, has publicly shared a message of gratitude for the technical teams who are working in extreme conditions to keep the network functional.
“A big thank you to our Network Heroes. During these extreme weather conditions, our Vodafone Albania network team, supported by our partners on the ground, have exceeded all expectations to keep Albania connected. Through rain, snow, wind and difficult terrain, your efforts keep our customers connected. Your dedication makes all the difference. We appreciate everything you do. We are proud of this team,” Bajraktari wrote.
But nothing would be possible without the continuous investments that Vodafone Albania makes in people and infrastructure. During 2024 alone, 43.2 million euros were invested in the network and over 40% of the territory has been covered with the 5G network since receiving permission for this investment.
Through these continuous investments, advanced technology and the dedication of the field teams, Vodafone Albania continues to strengthen its role as a reliable partner of institutions, communities and citizens, ensuring that the connection is not interrupted precisely when it is needed most.
