This will be the fastest and most advanced 4G network in the country. Customers in Juba will be the first to benefit from the new network, which will gradually be expanded to the majority of the country’s populated areas that are currently covered by the existing 3G network.

As part of Zain’s commitment to South Sudan’s digital transformation, the company invested over US$10 million in this latest infrastructure roll-out. Chief Executive Officer of Zain South Sudan Khalid Abdalla (pictured) spoke with optimism saying the telecommunication service provider has even more under its sleeves. “We are delighted in making the best network in South Sudan even better.

4G places South Sudan on the world map of countries offering advanced mobile data services. As the leading operator in the country, we are committed to offering the community life-enriching mobile services and playing a key role in the economic and social development of the country,” Abdalla said during the launch in Juba on Friday, March 5.

 He continued, “Zain is keen to shift its customers to the world of cutting-edge digital technology, with 4G also set to bolster the mobile experience of 3G services by adding additional network capacity. Our initial 4G LTE launch will gradually be rolling out across all South Sudan, right to where the people live. Juba is just the start. We will quickly expand our network in cooperation with Huawei, a preeminent global technology solutions provider.”

He added the company is aiming at injecting quality standards in its services to ensure that many people get the services. He said this would involve the team up with the government. “Zain is committed to delivering the highest standard customer experience to its customers, providing them with the latest technology in the country, and working closely as a partner with government institutions to ensure the delivery of 4G services to the maximum number of people in South Sudan,” he remarked.

4G LTE technology enables customers to enjoy video calls, communication through social media; high-quality downloads through multimedia, use of business applications on the go, as well as high-quality integrated services that cater to the evolving needs of customers.

Zain South Sudan customers will benefit from various 4G LTE bundles and products, including an array of devicongles and smartphones at affordable prices with plans suiting all. The further development of internet technology through 4G services is set to contribute to the improvement of all aspects of life in South Sudan, particularly its application in areas including health, where diagnosis, medical treatment, and the remote conduct of surgeries may be facilitated.

High-speed mobile broadband also has the potential to contribute to improving education by providing a transfer of knowledge and access to the latest developments in research from international academic institutes. 4G services launched are just the beginning as the company intends to provide additional digital services that can help uplift the lives of people in the community and provide them with greater productivity tools, allowing them to enjoy the real meaning of 4G technology, featuring super-fast connectivity.
