Swift Networks launches with 4G network

SWIFT Networks Limited, a wireless broadband provider, has commenced the provision of commercial services on its 4G network in
Lagos, the commercial nerve centre of Nigeria.

The telecom service provider is going live on the 4G network after a three-month pilot of its wireless broadband service.

The company says it has conducted “successful rigorous testing” of its 4G WIMAX broadband network and backend systems which its sees as a major game changer in the Internet market.

Chief Operating Officer of Swift Networks, Chuma Okoye, says the firm now offers access to the internet at a game-changing speed.

Okoye noted that with higher speed access, Nigerian businesses and consumers will be more productive and competitive as they are able to do more everyday at 4G speeds.

He assured that subscribers of the service will also be able to share the same 4G connection, make and receive clear voice calls at affordable prices, without the complications of cabled networking.

The company is delivering its 4G service under the brand name “Swift 4G Broadband”.

“A business can now use one reliable broadband connection to support the needs of all of its staff, and depending on the size of its building, create a WiFi cloud sufficient for all users without the need of an external router.

“This business will also get clear voice, fax, web and e-mail hosting, as well as customized hosted PABX services from SWIFT at an affordable price.
The itinerant boss will have the option of a nomadic 4G modem with which he can access the corporate network or the internet while outside the office and this will be on the same bill as the office”, said Okoye.
