Cell C is continuing to expand it national third-generation (3G) mobile network, announcing on Tuesday that it has launched high-speed Internet services in Mpumalanga capital Nelspruit.
The operator, which is the first to deploy a wide-scale broadband network at 900MHz, has already launched its 3G network in Durban, Cape Town, Bloemfontein, East London, Port Elizabeth, Pietermaritzburg and George.
According to Cell C marketing head Simon Camerer, Cell C is covering 82% of the population of Nelspruit with the new network and will increase this to 93% by January.
Cell C is expected to launch its 3G network in Gauteng in mid-November, though CEO Lars Reichelt has indicated previously that rolling out the service in Gauteng is throwing up a number of technical challenges. — Staff reporter, TechCentral
