If it sound crazy, probably it is. Last heard from the ITU was that there is not 4G anywhere in the world. LTE and other variations are not.

@philip musyoki, There are two standards for 4G, one of them being LTE Advanced and the other wimax IEEE 802.16m. Most fo the LTE's currently installed are 3G transitional, but the point is that there is still an LTE 4G standard On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 2:52 PM, maina martin <martinafrique@gmail.com>wrote:

@maina ill reffer you to previus threads on what is and what really is not, most of these are in the gray area to an extent that 4G has been used by any marketing agency to protray progression. Hence my question with particular respect to the current deployments. As for being a tecchie, guess what, gray area too. :-) On Fri, Nov 5, 2010 at 5:01 PM, Stephen Munguti <kamitu.sm@gmail.com> wrote:

Pre-4G is LTE or Mobile Wimax but these are usually branded as 4G. These are operational in the capitals of Norway ad Sweden (LTE) and Lithuania (mobile Wimax). True 4G would be speeds around 1Gbps. HSUPA is not even pre-4G. It is just another version of UMTS 3G. It is not even branded as 4G. But go ahead - we can even call it 4G+ ;) On 11/15/2010 01:40 PM, Odhiambo Washington wrote:

For any standard to be 4G it should be able to do 100Mbps downlink on a mobile phone and 50Mbps uplink, and for fixed it should reach 1Gbps for uplink and 600Mbps for uplink, i.e there is no 4G anywhere yet On Mon, Nov 15, 2010 at 2:58 PM, Odhiambo Washington <odhiambo@gmail.com>wrote:

As you ponder the 4G I activated my 10 Mbps zuku biz offer and I just love it. We will experience these "4G" speeds once we have local content to drive the need to have greater speeds. How many homes have reliable affordable Internet connections? Now we are talking about 4G at 1Gps. Thats a pipe dream in the near future.

does it really make sense to invest such huge amounts on LTE when data pentration is <10% of kenyans and when the available capacity is seriously underutilised not forgeting other problems in the country (food insecurity,traffic jams,IDP's) just to stay ahead?

The point is this: 1. 2.5 GHz in the country is not enough to lease to all operators singly, so the government decided it should manage it and make it available like WiFi. 2. So far, the avl bandwidth is not been used as ISPs are after business users and Runda estate. No one is interested in taking access to Nyalgunga, other than Safaricom which then charges a premium for that. Rather than pay lip service, the government has decided to come up with a solution that lowers the cost of fast available bandwidth.
What do you mean other problems? These problems can be addressed while building a data network at the same time. If we have to wait for the end of traffic jams and food insecurity to build a robust network, we may have to wait forever. And the reason why data penetration is less than 10% is because of lack of a viable last-mile option. So the net infrastructure provides this, and much more.
we already have a data network which is seriously underutilised...what's the point of taking internet to a school with hungry kids? also the 2.5 GHz in the country is not enough because it's with the military...MTN Business CEO was in news yesterday saying as much as for ISP's laying out fibre in high class areas it makes business sense what the GoK would have done initially was to either lay out the fibre itself and allow all operators to use (at a fee ofcoz) or allocate specific areas to specific operator e.g westy to AK,msa road to KDN e.t.c rather than what we have now ...digging everyday (check out mombasa road they are always digging and even CBD) On Thu, Nov 18, 2010 at 11:59 AM, Philip Musyoki <pmusyoki@gmail.com> wrote:

-- Marto. My software doesn't have bugs,it just develops random features.
The mandate of the ministry of communications is not to feed hungry kids, but to make communication accessible and affordable, even to residents of North Eastern province. The mandate of the ministry of roads is not to feed hungry kids, but to make travel easy and fast for all, e.g by reconstructing Thika road. If the two ministries are within their mandate, why rap them for for providing internet to a hungry kid who may one day update his twitter account on the situation of their area and travel to Nairobi via a superhighway to be marvelled at infornt of your TV as you enjoy snacks form the supermarket?
@dennis Have read both articles and I don't really understand: Will the gvmt actually build towers and put up the equipment? It sounds like it in the article. What would rolling out otherwise mean? That they have their own backbone in place and are looking for partners to do the last mile (ie LTE)? Or have they just allocated the 2.5GHz frequency to the public (like 2.4GHz for wifi doesn't require a license)? This does not sound like rolling out anything but just allowing the public to use a certain frequency? On 11/18/2010 12:55 PM, Dennis Kioko wrote:

From what Ndemo was saying, it likely appears either the Government will put up infrastructure, or that the the infrastructure will be put up by a consortium inclusive of the government.
However, the end product is that the frequency will be available to be used by all. Ideally, I THINK that one transmitter will be set up to serve one area and then leased out to several operators to provide the service on several channels. As Ndemo clarified the backbone will be NOFBI, it seems then that the government will be involved in the set up.
I have always though that talk about 4G/LTE is essentially blowing hot air. Whats the uptake of 3G? Given that it still below < 10%, why invest more money in 4G whilst not every area has 3G coverage? Wouldn't it make sense if say, demand for 3G far outstripped supply to warrant investment into 4G/LTE. Me thinks it beats all logic.

Excuse my misinformed thinking, but isn't a 4G network supposed to be backwards compatible with 3G, such that 3G devices are still supposed to work??? Should that be the case, then it is okay to build 4G even when the uptake of 3G is still low. Let us have the latest and those who can afford it use it. The uptake of 3G is something to do with affordability. If the govt is part of this, perhaps it would be cheaper. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!

It looks like it's at an advanced stage of *planning*, and not rolling out.
From the (badly written) articles, it looks like the governemnt plans to build (together with partners) an "Open Access Network" [1]. This is a last-mile network, where the infrastructure will be operated by a single entity (like TEAMS), and then multiple service providers will compete on the network, to provide services to end consumers.

Oh, my apologies. It appears that the Government is out to try to achieve what existing technology has failed to achieve. So , it has decided to come up with a pure data technology, since Telcos obviously have a bias towards voice. At the same time, the focus is more on the rural areas, given that the coverage of the transmitters is 80km
Hi, KU, kahawa areas Its LTE with proven test speeds of above 50Mbps OTA Samsung have advanced dongles, problem is mass producing chips for 4G dongles the same size as 3G ones at the en masse prices, its hard.
Note that this is not 4G. It is just HSUPA, still part of UMTS.....???? please right your facts.
