Spectranet Expands 4G LTE Services

Spectranet Limited is poised to expand its broadband internet wireless technology service across Nigeria.. after blazing the trail of broadband wireless internet with its migration from Wimax to the new Fourth Generation (4G) Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology earlier in August.
Mr. Atul Ojha, Spectranet’s chief operating officer, confirmed the strides during a launch held in Hauwei office in Lagos.
Already pilot-tested in Lagos since August 20, Spectranet has since expanded the 4G wireless internet service to Abuja in the last couple of months and is gearing to expand the service to Ibadan and subsequently to other Nigerian cities such as Kano and Kaduna in the first quarter of 2014.
The Spectranet 4G LTE hardware is manufactured by Huawei, leading global Information and Communication Technology solutions provider, who by virtue of being a technical support partner to Spectranet is also managing the service network for the wireless giant.
The 4G LTE technology affords the user 50 per cent increase in downlink with download speed that can reach 109Mbps and hence convenient for easy upload, video streaming, gaming, and so on at a faster speed.
With its revolutionary WIFI-capability as well as its innovative features, the Spectranet 4G LTE technology has multiple benefits.
“The wireless network work within the range of 300 metres and the multi-user terminal can support 32 devices including ipads and smartphones in addition to regular computer devices which makes it ideal for family use at home or for work in the office environment,” Liang said.
Speaking about the necessity of embracing the 4G LTE technology by internet users, Ojha expatiated that although “there are multiple technologies available for the consumer to access the internet-the GSM, CDMA, Wimax- but the ultimate technology is the 4G.”
Explaing further, he said “the 4G is better because the customer can experience higher bandwidth which will not be possible on the GSM network or the CDMA network; with the 4G, the internet user will be able to do the same amount of work in a much lesser time.”
The 4G LTE terminal comes in three categories namely Single User modem (connected via USB), personal Wifi and multi User Wi-Fi CPE (devices).
The last two categories are equipped with specially designed batteries that guaratee 10 hours working time in case of power disruption.
While the Wifi device can be acquired at the rate of N10, 000 per unit, the service bundle varies with monthly subscription as low as N7, 000.
The occasion also had in attendance Mr. Tony Liang, managing director, Hauwei Devices Nigeria as well as high profile representatives from both organisations.
