GLO switches to 4G LTE

The operator said its subscribers in several parts
of Nigeria can immediately connect to Glo 4G
LTE network. Among the cities where the service
is already live are Lagos, Port Harcourt in Rivers
State, Abuja in the Federal Capital City, Jos in
Plateau State, Warri in Delta State, Eket in Akwa
Ibom State, Benin City in Edo State, Yola in
Adamawa State and Zaria in Kaduna State while
roll-out to other major cities of the country will
happen in days ahead.
The Glo 4G LTE, which is the country’s first
nationwide network implementation, is offering
instant efficient broadband internet to millions of
Nigerians at speed faster than the 3G network,
enabling subscribers to download ultra high
definition videos in seconds.
This major milestone will enable Globacom to
offer its subscribers data intensive applications,
and will particularly be a welcome development to
individuals who consume huge quantum of data,
as well as government and corporate
organisations like banks, oil and gas companies,
academic institutions and health institutions,
which rely exclusively on seamless data transfer
for their operations.
Unveiling the service yesterday, Head, Corporate
Sales, Globacom, Mr Kamaldeen Shonibare, said:
“We are pleased to once again play a leading role
in empowering Nigerians with world class data
services. This will help to close the digital divide.”
