Founded in 2008, Smile Nigeria is a subsidiary of Smile Telecoms Holdings, which has operations in Tanzania, Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and an associate company in South Africa. Smile launched West Africa’s first true 4G LTE network in Ibadan in 2013, thereby revolutionising the way people access the internet. Smile’s preference for the 4G LTE technology as the framework for all its current services is predicated on the fact that the LTE is the only technology that is fast enough to truly open the door to the digital revolution in Nigeria. This is in addition to the LTE providing the best coverage indoors and in built –up areas and has the fastest growing ecosystem for end user devices.
