Globacom has rolled out Nigeria’s
first commercial world-class nationwide mobile Fourth Generation Long
Term Evolution (4G LTE) network across the six geo-political zones
simultaneously. This follows a successful multi-dimensional test-run
of the advanced network consistent with its numerous pioneering roles
in Nigeria’s telecommunication industry.
With this development,
telecommunications subscribers in several parts of key cities in
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 can immediately connect to Glo 4G LTE network, while
rollout to other major cities of the country will happen in quick
succession in the 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 speeds
multiple times 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 great news to individuals who consume huge
volumes 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.
Kamaldeen Shonibare, head, corporate
sales, Globacom said “We are pleased to once again play a leading
role in empowering Nigerians with world class data services, helping
to close the digital divide. In the last one and a half years, the
people of this great country have spoken repeatedly by making
Globacom the largest data network in new subscriptions.
“The best we can do for our people
who believe in us and made us their number one data network is to
give them the best technology. What we are offering is the new speed
of life,” he said. With the launch of 4G/LTE services, Globacom has
unveiled a wide range of hard-to-beat 4G data bundle offers to enable
all categories of subscribers to have access to the revolutionary
products and services.
The benefits include free access to
thousands of music, video and movie on demand. For instance, for only
N500, subscribers will get a whopping 1.6GB of data, while N1000 will
give them 3.2GB data. Other exciting offers include 7.5GB for N2000,
10GB for N2,500, 18GB for N4000 and 24GB for N5000. The data
plans range from N50 to N18,000 to suit eveyone’s pocket.
Globacom is also offering a brand new
4G LTE router which gives access to Ultra High Speed Internet and
landline, with free SIM, 60Gb of shareable data valid for a month and
free world-class content for a one-off fee of N31,000. For those who
prefer MiFi, Globacom is bundling its 4G MiFi with free SIM, 60Gb of
shareable data valid for one month and free world-class content for a

Shonibare said the Glo 4G LTE services

Nigerians as the advanced technology would touch all aspects of life
from education to agriculture and medical care.
