Vodacom’s fixed LTE-A service will be the best in South Africa
Vodacom is exploring opportunities available in the fixed LTE-A space in South Africa.
The company told MyBroadband that following its launch of a fixed LTE-A trial service, it is looking at the possibility of expanding the offering.
“Vodacom is currently trialling the value proposition to gauge consumer interest and usage before rolling out fixed LTE-A services nationally,” it said.
“Vodacom will explore opportunities to widely expand the service dependant on consumer interest.”
Vodacom launched two fixed LTE-A packages in October, offering the first 1,000 users to sign up “50GB + 50GB” or “100GB + 100GB” caps.
The deals were aimed at driving data usage and engagement in selected areas, and giving users the chance to experience data speeds of up to 150Mbps.
Best in SA
Vodacom said thanks to it high-end nationwide network, its LTE-A packages will offer users excellent connectivity.
“As South Africa’s best 4G network, we are confident that we will be able to offer the best fixed LTE-A experience,” said Vodacom.
The company added that it is in discussions with Rain regarding a roaming agreement for LTE-A services.
“Similar to all other national roaming arrangements, Vodacom and Rain will first need to conclude a commercial agreement for Rain customers to roam on the Vodacom network.”
“The discussions between Vodacom and Rain are ongoing in this regard and have not yet been finalised.”
