As South Africa’s mobile networks prepare to roll out these high-end data services to customers, we are excited to offer people the devices capable to benefit from the next step in wireless communication,‚” says Craige Fleischer, Director of Mobile Communications at Samsung South Africa.

LTE will provide Africa with the platform needed to embrace the digital lifestyle across their professional and personal lives,‚” concludes Fleischer.
