Wataniya Maldives launches LTE

Wataniya Telecom Maldives has launched LTE services, for the first time in the Maldives following a trial service that started in April.

Wataniya customers using the 4G network will be able to access download speeds of up to 15 Mbps.

Wataniya launched the 4G network in April at the ICT Connect Expo. The first package, wNet 4G, was launched in June 2013 as part of the ‘Wataniya for Business’ portfolio for small and medium sized enterprises.

The network upgrade was provided by Huawei as part of a wider network modernisation contract signed last year.
