Cell C brings 4G to SA

Looks like there is light at the end of the tunnel...

Cell C is to deploy what will be SA's fastest cellular network to date.

The third mobile operator has appointed Chinese telecommunications equipment provider ZTE to roll-out HSPA+. The deal is worth about R2.9 billion and forms part of Cell C's R5 billion plan to establish a 4G network across SA this year.

CEO Lars Reichelt claims Cell C is now leading the industry and will be the first mobile operator in SA to deploy HSPA+ technologies.

The new network will have technologies that incorporate download speeds of up to 21Mbps, which is three times faster than anything currently available.

Reichelt says this is the operator's first big step towards transforming Cell C into a “possibilities provider”.

More to come

“The process to appoint ZTE was an extensive one, and we are glad to say we are on track to deliver a 4G network that will offer the kind of connectivity that South Africans have been craving,” says Reichelt.

One of the reasons it selected ZTE is its ability to offer 4G services using Cell C's 900MHz frequency band, which offers wider and deeper coverage than existing 2 100MHz networks, he adds.

Cell C will soon appoint a second vendor to carry out the remaining part of the nationwide roll-out, and will announce other plans by the end of March.
