List of LTE networks in Africa

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of commercial Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks in Africa, grouped by their frequency bands.

Some operators use multiple bands and are therefore listed multiple times in respective sections.

General information

[edit]
  • For technical details on LTE and a list of its designated operating frequencies, bands, and roaming possibilities, see LTE frequency bands.
  • Bands 33 to 44 are assigned to TDD-LTE.

Note: This list of network deployments does not imply any widespread deployment or national coverage.
