CCK approves Econet’s proposal to offer 3G services
By James Anyanzwa
The Communication Commission of Kenya has approved Econet Wireless Kenya’s proposal to offer 3G services.
The industry regulator allocated a 3G Spectrum to Kenya’s third mobile operator, putting the firm in a position to unveil 3G services as part of it rollout later this year.
The 3G technology will initially be available in Nairobi and its environs. "3G technology is designed to enable mobile operators offer its users a wide range of more advanced services including high speed data, while achieving greater network capacity though improved spectral efficiency," Mr Michael Foley, the firm’s managing director said in a statement.
diversified service
He said the 3G license is a milestone that would enable EWK offer a diversified service beyond the traditional mobile voice service.
"We intend to have a well managed and reasonably priced package for our customers," he said. The 3G technology include wide area wireless voice telephony, video calls and broadband wireless data.
Foley said subscribers would enjoy access to high-speed data at superior speeds. He said subscribers would need to acquire 3G enabled handsets in order to enjoy mobile broadband services including Internet access, email communication, access to calendars and other multimedia services.
He said PC users would, however, access the service using either broadband modem plugged into a computer to access the internet for a single user or a broadband wireless router that allows a group of users high-speed access to the internet.

The service enables robust and high-speed broadband Internet services whether mobile or in a fixed office environment. Foley said enhanced 3G network would eliminate challenges of limited fixed network infrastructure and expensive internet access alternatives.
