Tigo launches Tanzania 4G+ network
Tanzania’s leading digital
lifestyle company, Tigo (www.Tigo.co.tz), has heightened the availability of
ultra-fast digital experience for data customers in the country with the launch
of 4G+ network.
The 4G+ network further
distinguishes Tigo as the mobile operator that innovates with customers in mind
and provides better and more efficient services that address the dynamic needs
of consumers across the country.
“The launch of 4G+ is in line
with Tigo’s transformative journey and the company’s objective of offering
customers the best digital experience. We are setting the pace among mobile
service providers and catapulting technology to the highest heights of digital
offering in the country,’ Tigo’s Chief Technical and Information Officer,
Jerome Albou, told journalists while launching the Tigo 4G+ network in Dar es
Salaam.
Tigo customers can now have
access to the best and most reliable digital experience and ultra-fast
downloads at normal internet bundle rates. All that is required is a 4G+
enabled smartphone.
Tigo’s tested and advanced 4G+
technology offers an opportunity to advance digital adoption in Tanzania; from
the scaling-up of faster digital services and the provision of access to very
high-speed Internet, voice and services that directly resonate with the
changing lifestyles.
“We are proud that with the
launch of 4G+ network, our company has again put Tanzania on the global
telecommunications map. We are now competing with the developed nations who are
currently rolling out 5G technology. The latest generation of mobile
communication technology in Tanzania denotes that full possibilities of
internet are now opened to our customers,” Tigo’s Chief Commercial Officer,
Tarik Boudiaf noted.
While Tigo’s fast 4G network
reaches speeds of up to 60Mbps, Tigo’s new 4G+ is twice as fast, reaching
speeds of up to 120Mbps. This is a shared speed among subscribers latching in a
specific site and the total speed is distributed among them.
Besides boasting the biggest 4G
network that covers 22 cities across the country, the Tigo 4G+ network has now
been rolled out in five main cities of the country namely Dar es Salaam,
Arusha, Morogoro, Moshi and Dodoma with ongoing expansion to other cities.
In enhancing and expanding
digital adoption in Tanzania, Tigo was among the first mobile companies to roll
out technologies such as 3G and 4G - which is currently the biggest 4G network
in the country. Tigo was also first to launch a smartphone with a Swahili menu,
the first Facebook service in Swahili which opened up digital access and
adoption in Tanzania to majority of the population who use Swahili as the
primary language of instruction.
