As part of its efforts to increase global exports in the field of information and communications technology, South Korea’s largest telephone company, KT Corporation has finished the construction first in Africa LTE network in Rwanda.

President of KT Global Business Office, Yun Kyoung-Lim said that its completion represents a momentous stride in realizing ‘Smart Rwanda’ and the country’s Fourth Industrial Revolution.

KT announced the development last week during Transform Africa Summit 2018 in the Rwandan capital, Kigali.

With the completion of Africa’s first nationwide LTE network, 95 percent of the Rwandan people now have access to high-speed wireless broadband service. Rwanda has a population of about 12 million and 8.6 million people subscribe to mobile services, of which 1.15 million use smartphones.

The Rwandan government expects the faster mobile communication network will help improve the quality of life of the Rwandan people. The nationwide 4G coverage has been completed in the three and a half years since KT Rwanda Networks (KTRN), a joint venture between KT and the Rwandan government, launched commercial services from Kigali in November 2014.
