Spectranet 4G LTE network, through its Chief Executive Officer, David
Venn, has said that the benefits of 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE)
outweigh 3G when it comes to internet connectivity because 4G technology
was designed specifically for high-speed data.
He said 3G technology was designed to support voice and data adding that
this makes service delivery not too efficient atimes as data capacity
competes with the voice capacity.
This is even as The Head, Compliance
Monitoring, Nigerian Communications Commission, NCC, Ephraim
Nwokonneya, projected that in few years’ time, no one would be paying
for voice calls in Nigeria as it would be free as broadband data service
would have revolutionised voice calls.
They disclosed this at the Africa Information Technology Exhibition and Strategic Conference held in Abuja recently.
David Venn, while revealing what makes 4G LTE stand out, said, “In terms
of spectrum efficiency, 4G LTE is about many times more efficient than
3G so you can get a lot more data down the same bandwidth. So, for
operators, you can handle much more data and significantly improve the
customer experience.
“If you look at 4G, it is a Long Term Evolution (LTE)and it is going to
evolve over time and in fact, it is all designed for data. Actually
there is no voice in 4G LTE. So, voice is just a plus which only
recently came out as ‘voice over LTE’ but not yet deployed.
