GO first to demonstrate 4G+ in Malta
GO plc has successfully demonstrated 4G+ mobile internet in its laboratories.
What does this mean?
GO plc will shortly be launching 4G+ mobile internet, capable of delivering vastly improved download and upload speeds. 4G+ means these higher speeds will also be maintained even when a lot of people are connecting at once.
How does it work?
4G+ works by bringing together more than one 4G frequency. As a result, the maximum download and upload speeds are multiple times faster than the current 4G speeds. The use of multiple frequencies also increases network capacity. This increased capacity ensures speeds remain very high, regardless of the demand. GO’s network is the only 100% fibre-connected mobile internet infrastructure in Malta and is therefore already able to support the speeds and data demands of 4G+.
Yiannos Michaelides, Chief Executive Officer at GO plc, said, “4G+ will bring a further significant improvement to the mobile internet experience of GO customers. GO’s foresight in investing in a fibre connected mobile internet infrastructure has enabled this development at a time when demand for mobile data both for entertainment and to remotely manage multiple domestic and business devices continues to grow significantly.”
In addition to the various field tests to be carried out in early 2017, the launch of 4G+ will also require the necessary allocation of spectrum by the Regulator. Once this process is complete, GO will be in a position to rapidly roll out 4G+ nationwide.
