Mozambique’s Teal has finally begun conducting trials of its 4G network. The operator was aiming for a commercial 4G/LTE launch in 2019 and has been beaten to it by mostof its competitors. Vodacom began offering 4G services in September 2018, while Movie switched on its LTE network in July last year.

However, Teal could gain an advantage over its rivals in terms of down- load speeds. Test results confirmed speeds of 11Mbps on TMcel’s 4G network in Maputo – reportedly higher than those typical to the networks of both Movie and Vodacom.

At the end of last year, there were approximately 15 million mobile subscribers in Mozambique.
