Agreement will cause 4G coverage of SA’s third-largest mobile operator to be extended to 95% of the population
SA’s third-largest mobile network operator, Cell C, said on Monday it has concluded the long-negotiated expanded roaming deal with the second-largest operator, MTN.
The roaming agreement will cause Cell C’s 4G network coverage to be extended to 95% of the population. Cell C customers will have access to more than 12,500 sites, of which 90% are LTE enabled.“One of the key pillars of this turnaround is to implement a revised network strategy that enables Cell C to manage its network capacity requirements in a more cost efficient and scalable manner,” he said.
MTN said this agreement is in line with its strategy to further develop the group’s wholesale business.It will allow MTN and Cell C to harness greater efficiencies in providing telecommunications services, while supporting a more sustainable and competitive industry.
