Glo will probably want to sell mifi devices, if their services is fast people will definitely buy. ... I'm on the hot S, according to mobility blog tests. My device works with smile, Ntel, Spectranet..... Someone else said mtn works on it too. I will only feel bad if etisalat does theirs on a band that my device doesn't . 1 Like |

EnterPRO: Etisalat 4G trial has started. i see the network when i search for 4G networks in Yaba. But When did they get a 4G licence? |

Glo is doomed already if they dont reverse this highly ridiculous 4G band. what nonesense 4G that almost anyone cant use? so you must own a galaxy s7 iphone 6+ htc M10 to use this adultrated 4G? little wonder nobody heard about it prior to its release. glo is very silly on this one 1 Like |

Viktor1983:You can't get a 4G lte mifi for 5k. By the way, some glo 4G offer on their website suggests they already have a 4G mifi and router for sale. 2 Likes |

dukeo: I don't know how deep you are in this field, but let me just state 3 simple advantages. I won't go too technical The assumption here is that you are allowed to choose any freq spectrum by the local regulator 1. Coverage Distance: Frequency is inversely proportional to distance. Meaning the Lower the Frequency the further the coverage distance. So Glo Operating on 700Mhz covers more distance than ntel Operating on 900Mhz & 1800Mhz and both covers more distance than MTN on 2600Mhz using one site 2. Wall Penetration: The lower the frequency the better with wall penetration. So meaning Glo again has an advantage over ntel and ofcourse both have this advantage over MTN in term of wall penetration . Assumprtion is that both are shooting from same site and same Antenna Power. So a typical MTN will have to deploy elaborate indoor solution to Airports, Big hotels , etc to have more seamless LTE coverage on the 2600Mhz 3. Cost : From the 2 above, you can see that MTNN will deploy more sites to cover thesame area covered by one site of ntel and GLO. So in that case, e.g If GLO need about 2000 sites to cover Lagos, MTN might require 6000. This means they will spend much more to achieve thesame coverage, that is the reason they bought and want to use the visafone 800Mhz, but NCC has not allowed them thus far 5 Likes |

deor03: Ok now that most device dnt dia band nko, weytin go com happen? or Pple wey manage buy 4G phone go still need to go buy GLO 4G mifi abi? ![]() ![]() |
PMONEY6: 10:56am On Oct 07, 2016 |
There's nothing to justify this total wrong move by glo. A serious business man sells what people would buy. Not the other way round. What is the excess of introducing a brand knowing fully well that it won't hold water? How many persons are using those ed phones at the moment? If they had used the band that is widely ed it would have been nice even if it takes them 3yrs to cover the entire country. |

deor03(m): 11:19am On Oct 07, 2016 |
eraly: Well that is the dilemma they have to overcome now. They need to subsidize devices heavily so that people can use their network |

Viktor1983:IMO, I think they are... Not everyone would want to carry a mifi just to be on LTE! Most would prefer having it direct on their Smartphone. Etisalat migth use this against Glo i think. |

When I first heard the news about the controversial glo 4G LTE, I suspected some phishing deal. For instance; when mtn was about to launch its 4G, the news was in everywhere for several months. So Ntel too. Now all of a sudden, glo just came out to announced this ridiculous 4G that has zero value. Why haven't they come out to address the public as to why they are using this unpopular band? The most annoying part is that, they (glo) are fully aware of this lack of ed devices yet they are sending sms to people to approach their offices for LTE activation. Old men/women with touch light phones who have no Idea on browsing the internet over crowded glo office yesterday just because of the sms they received that they should go and upgrade their sim for LTE . Can you imagine that? Don't they know the phone their customers are using?(imei) This whole idea is to monetize the stuff cus I doubt if glo truly s 4G yet. |
