The Nigerian Communications Commission has approved the transfer of a 10MHz spectrum in the 2.6GHz spectrum band from OPENSKYS Services
It said, “According to a GSMA report on opportunities for global mobile broadband, the 2.6GHz spectrum band is the ideal complement to the 700MHz-800MHz spectrum bands as together, these bands can help to provide the most cost-effective nationwide coverage of mobile broadband services across both rural and urban areas.”
The firm noted that its recent acquisition will enable it to provide improved broadband services to its customers and meet their growing demand for capacity to deliver mobile broadband services. It further said the transfer of the spectrum will significantly improve its customers’ experience in line with its commitment to deliver excellent service.
Commenting on the acquisition, the Chief Executive Officer, MTN Nigeria, Karl Toriola, said, “This additional spectrum will enable us to deliver on our promise to our customers to deliver quality service, as we continue to support the Federal Government’s vision of deepening broadband penetration in the country.”All rights reserved.
