2 years after MTN first launched its 4G/LTE network in Kampala and Entebbe, the company has announced it has rolled out this technology in all the major towns in the country. It has also partnered with mobile phone operator Huawei to make 4G compatible devices available to customers. MTN now has 75 operational LTE sites in addition to the already existing coverage of 1,492 2G sites and 591 3G sites.
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a worldwide efficient mobile broadband that enables improved speeds and superior internet experience. It offers great data transfer speeds and shortest latency times, allowing users to have a seamless uninterrupted download experience.
Speaking during the launch in Kampala today, MTN CEO Brian Gouldie said, “Mobile users need to have enhanced uninterrupted experience while consuming the internet. This latest rollout offers seamless user experience, lower latency and high spectral efficiency. This also means a higher number of data users can be serviced without compromising the quality of service they receive.
