Date set for Neotel launch
Neotel sent out invitations to media today (14 August 2013), inviting them to the launch of its Long Term Evolution (LTE) network on 21 August 2013.
This comes after the network operator revealed earlier this year that it plans to launch commercial LTE services in September 2013.
Neotel boss Sunil Joshi previously said that it would start its commercial offering in a concentrated area of Gauteng with 50 base stations, using the 1,800MHz frequency.
Rumours have been swirling around the industry that Neotel is up for sale and that mobile network operators have expressed interest in the company.
Earlier this month, two independent industry sources close to the negotiations told MyBroadband that Vodacom is performing due diligence on Neotel.
