Vodafone Malta reaches 70% LTE coverage

Vodafone Malta has announced that its 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile data network now offers coverage to 70% of the country’s population, 14 months after its commercial launch in November 2013. Vodafone is so far the only Maltese cellular operator to have implemented LTE technology, with rivals GO and Melita still to reveal their 4G rollout plans. Vodafone accounted for around 46% of Malta’s 560,000 mobile users at the end of September 2014, according to TeleGeography’s GlobalComms Database, while GO took 39% and Melita had a 15% share.
