South Africa's second landline network operator, Neotel has launched its own LTE network to provide fixed wireless based internet services.
The Neo Broadband branded service uses a fixed installation to connect business offices via Neotel's LTE network, which operates over its 1800Mhz spectrum.
Sunil Joshi, MD & CEO of Neotel said "Neotel is using its LTE network to deliver efficient, stable, low contention, unshaped and uncapped internet to its business and retail customers as well as for last mile requirements. By using fixed wireless deployment Neotel can optimise the number of connections to each tower thereby delivering better speeds, consistent user experience and minimal disruptions."
The initial coverage is focused in Gauteng and offers download speeds of 2 Mbps, 5Mbps and 10 Mbps on an unshaped, uncapped package ranging from R999 to R2899 per month. As the network footprint expands, Neotel will offer additional packages as well as make the service available in other regions in a phased manner.
With the addition of NeoBroadband powered by LTE in its product portfolio, Neotel is now positioned to offer a wide range of broadband services ranging from 1 Mbps up to 100 Mbps using different access technologies such as Fibre, WiMAX and now LTE.
