Ntel to Launch LTE Services April 8

Nigeria’s Ntel, which recently bought the assets of struggling former state-owned telco, NITEL, has announced launch details for its own LTE network. The launch date is Friday, April 8, 2O16.

The 4G network will initially cover Lagos and Abuja and is due to launch later this week following approvals from the telecoms regulator.

Ntel’s CEO, Ntel, Kamar Abass said the company has deployed about 600 base transceiver stations in the two cities, with thousands more to be rolled out as the network expands.

Abass said already 200 kilometres of fibre optic transmission cables have been laid in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt for network connectivity.

He added that Ntel has deployed LTE-A with multi-antenna MIMO sites to improve download speeds.

“We are rolling out physical sites in three cities on our 900MHz and 1800MHz bands to launch Voice over LTE come April 8, 2016.” he noted.

Will 45m Poor Americans Determine 2016 Presidential Race?

In a presidential campaign where candidates are jockeying to be champions of the middle-class and asking wealthy people for money, the problems facing the poor are inching into the debate. Tensions in places such as Baltimore and Ferguson, Missouri, have prompted candidates to explore the complicated relationship between poor communities and the police, and the deep-seated issues that have trapped many of the 45 million people who live in poverty in the United States. But addressing the long-running economic, education and security troubles in under-privileged neighbourhoods is a challenge with few easily agreed upon solutions.
