Africa 4G Market Report, Including Charts and Data in Excel Format.
On the surface, 4G service rollout in African markets appears to be going well. Around 115 LTE networks are commercial, or expected to launch in the continent before the end of 2018. On average, since 2015, around 20 new 4G networks launch in Africa every year. The African 4G subscriber base has been doubling every year (though from a small base) and operators are reporting double-digit traffic growth numbers. The reality, however, is more nuanced. Despite the positive growth, the African market is falling behind on 4G. Spectrum allocation has been a challenge, and 4G business models remain in flux.
This report provides the most extensive analysis available on the current state of African 4G markets. It provides insights on the nature, pace and size of 4G deployments, the nature, and value of 4G spectrum used, critical obstacles to African 4G monetization and more.
The report also explores critical 4G questions, such as the future of Rwanda’s 4G wholesale model, the impact of upcoming 5G on 4G, the impact of 4G on operator EBITDA and cash flows and more.
A reference report for all stakeholders and investors in African mobile broadband markets.
