A Korean telecom firm is expected to enhance high-speed broadband internet services in Rwanda with 4G LTE technology.
This will be the first such kind of service in the country targeting nationwide broadband services by providing the required ICT infrastructure and skills.
Government, through the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), and Korea Telecom (KT) has signed a memorandum of understanding to establish a public-private partnership in the form of a Joint Venture Company to deploy high-speed broadband services based on 4G LTE technology – the first-ever of its kind in Rwanda.
The joint venture is intended to develop, construct, operate and provide wholesale infrastructure services to customer-facing mobile service providers and mobile virtual network operators in Rwanda.
RDB’s head of ICT, Patrick Nyirishema, said Rwanda had been working together with the Korean firm for the last six years in the deployment of Rwanda’s extensive fiber optic network and the early form of high speed mobile broad band services.
