Zain Sudan has launched LTE services, marking the first time the mobile broadband technology is available in the country and the sixth Zain operation to do so. In the first stage, 4G coverage will reach the capital Khartoum, Medani, Port Sudan and El Obeid.
These central and populated areas were launched in cooperation with Ericsson. 4G services will be extended to other regional centers across the country gradually with the additional cooperation of Huawei.
Zain Sudan initially launched 4G services with nearly 300 sites on air, and 21 other cities in the regions are set to gain coverage by the end of 2016, with 15 of them by the end of June. The population coverage of the 4G network will reach over 20 percent in the first stage of roll-out.
