4G comming?
A new mobile communication standard from the Next Generation Networks might see the light in Rwanda. The 4G, widely deployed in the USA and a couple of other countries, is more data-oriented but also providing voice communication can reach up to 40Mbps speeds on mobile devices.
Is this technology coming in Rwanda? Are we done with 3G? In my point of view, No! With 3G coverage problems even in Kigali, i think people didn't benefit the full potential 3G can offer. Additionally, 3G-enabled handsets are just getting popular, I don't see how the 4G standard would emerge requiring users to migrate 'again' to 4G-enable devices in order to experience all its features.
Some news are suggesting a new company is planning to launch a 4G network offering broadband Internet. Is it going to be WIMAX rather than LTE (which is "the real" 4G)? Looks to me that it will come not sooner than next year.
