Poised to stimulate economic activities across all sectors as well as provide unfettered access to affordable and reliable mobile broadband Airtel Nigeria has launched its 4G LT.E
Speaking on the launch, Segun Ogunsanya, Airtel’s Chief Executive Officer said the 4G LTE is a technology that puts power in the hands of its users because it provides a superfast mobile broadband to Nigerians.
He said the Airtel has in the past seven weeks upgraded and modernized its network infrastructure in the nation’s capital to improve productivity, spread prosperity, and help telecoms consumers in Abuja to fulfill their potentials as well as realise their dreams.
“Ours is a 4G service that is not only fast and reliable but a 4G Service that works! We are enabling mobile first, mobile only access to the Internet. If you have only one TV in your household, you don’t have to argue over remote control. Your Phone equals Your TV!
“Already, I have started getting some positive reviews of the Airtel 4G service in Abuja. We pioneered GSM in Nigeria. First GSM call in Nigeria was made on our Network in 2001. Now we are launching the best 4G network in Abuja. We keep connecting people and businesses,” he said.
Ogunsanya also noted that since the 4G was first launched in Ibadan in February this year, the positive feedback from users, friends and other stakeholders in Ibadan have been excellent attesting to the speed of the network.
He said the company plans to extend the technology to all over the country before the end of the year, making it the widest 4G network in Nigeria.
Also speaking, Ahmad Mohkles, Airtel’s Chief Commercial Officer, said the potential for 4G network in Nigeria is huge as only about 100 million of the 139 million mobile phone users have access to internet.
He said the 4G technology would be around for a long time, and urged Nigerians to swap their old Airtel SIM cards to the latest technology to enjoy superfast mobile Internet.
