MTN Nigeria Communications Plc has launched 4G+ in Lagos, Abuja, and Port-Harcourt. The enhanced service is aimed at delivering a premium experience to more people across the country.
MTN 4G+ runs on 4G LTE Advanced Technology using a combination of the recently acquired 800 MHz spectrum and 2600 MHz. The added spectrum and advanced technology extend the reach and capacity of MTN’s data network in Nigeria and enable speeds of up to 200 Mbps. This means a 30-minute HD video could take as little as three minutes to download on 4G+, while the same video would take around eight minutes to download on standard 4G. The telco said the service is immediately available and will deliver much higher broadband speeds, a more consistent connection and significant improvement in indoor coverage. According to MTN Nigeria, “It’s about the customer. We put the customer at the heart of everything that we do.”… the launch of 4G+ represents a natural evolution from MTN’s already fast and reliable 4G network and further demonstrates the company’s commitment to continued investment in technology that caters to the present and future needs of its customers and country. With the launch of 4G+, customers are expected to see faster downloads and uploads, and better browsing and streaming experiences. Hopefully, the service will extend to other states in Nigeria. To activate the service and enjoy a new digital experience, customers need an MTN Standard 4G SIM (upgrades available in stores nationwide) and a compatible device.
