“We want to offer good services through the best technology that we want to install,” Lamplough said adding that they would be using Space Division Multiple Access (SDMA) technology which has better voice quality and speed data.
The country has of late experienced network congestion which has resulted in poor interconnectivity among subscribers. But Gain said SDMA, which uses multiple antennas among others would improve the speed.
Kalilani said the mobile firm was destined to withstand the competition further stressing that being a Malawian company, they would focus on covering rural areas and other places where there is no network coverage.
According to the Daily Times, Gain was granted permission to be the country’s third mobile phone company this year.
