Neotel<\/a> sent out invitations to media today (14 August 2013), inviting them to the launch of its Long Term Evolution (LTE<\/a>) network on 21 August 2013.<\/p>\n

This comes after the network operator revealed earlier this year that it plans to launch commercial LTE services<\/a> in September 2013.<\/p>\n

Neotel boss Sunil Joshi<\/a> previously said that it would start its commercial offering in a concentrated area of Gauteng with 50 base stations, using the 1,800MHz frequency.<\/p>\n

Rumours have been swirling around the industry that Neotel is up for sale and that mobile network operators have expressed interest in the company.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, two independent industry sources close to the negotiations told MyBroadband that Vodacom is performing due diligence on Neotel<\/a>.<\/p>\n
