Bitflux, the company that was awarded the Wholesale Wireless Access Service License (“WWASL”) on the 2.3GHz spectrum licence in February 2014 by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), is set to roll out commercial services on the 2.3GHz spectrum frequency on a wholesale basis.
Making the announcement, the company said it would offer the wholesale wireless broadband Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology service to its prospective partners especially major Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), major Internet Carriers (IC), Internet Service Providers (ISP), and Bandwidth Aggregators.
NCC adopted the concept of Wholesale Wireless Access License as a long term sustainable solution to the availability of broadband services and a key component toward achieving the Nigerian National Broadband Strategy. Managing Director of VDT Communications, who oversees Bitflux operations, Mr. Biodun Omoniyi, said the service would be provided using Bitflux’s 30MHz of the 2.3GHz spectrum on its LTE advance platform.
