ORANGE FLEXES ITS MIGHT WITH THE LAUNCH OF 21Mbps NETWORK
Hello Listers, Orange flexes its might in data with the launch of 21 Mbps * Most versatile 3G - 21Mbps network in Kenya- the second of its kind in Africa * Open commercially in Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu * Network upgrade costs Orange Kshs. 4 billion * Orange unveils range of affordable and sustainable data solutions Nairobi, August 25, 2011... Orange has announced that it is firmly on course to retain its position as the leader in the data market, with the launch of its new 21Mbps network. Telkom Kenya CEO Mickael Ghossein said the new best-in-class network, with speeds of up to 21Mbps, will make it possible for mobile and computer-based users to derive maximum data values from Orange. For the discerning mobile user, Orange has unveiled another first for Kenya by introducing a range of HD Voice devices that would be readily available in all its stores countrywide. HD Voice capability enables customers to experience high definition voice calls, only available through Orange. As the true integrated operator, Orange has also unveiled a range of high speed internet devices for use across all consumer segments and announced a new data tariff structure that will see customers browse the net for as low as 0.40 cts per MB to a maximum of Kshs 4 per MB, for Pay as You Go service. In line with its simplicity proposition, the CEO also confirmed that these rates would be applicable across all its internet platforms. Another first for the market was the launch of a 3G shared broadband Wi-Fi router - Business Broadband which enables 6-10 users to connect to the internet at the same time, via a plug and play device. The Business Broadband becomes the first available wireless router in the market that is compatible to both GSM and CDMA networks and works on both Windows and Mac based operating systems. Orange, which currently has the highest number of wireless broadband subscribers, unveiled its new Internet Everywhere modem that offers speeds of upto 21Mbps that will retail at a most affordable price of Kshs 6,999/-. Customers will also have the ability to manage and control internet abuse through the newly launched parental control software that can be downloaded free of charge from the Orange portal.

I can only say "we're living in interesting times". Let the supremacy battles begin -- to the benefit of the customers. What is Orange's statement on the QoS though? Is this something they are thinking about too? On Thu, Aug 25, 2011 at 20:09, Angela Nganga- Mumo <anganga@orange-tkl.co.ke

Hello Njoroge, Just to clarify the price for 21Mbps dongles in the market is Kshs 9,999 - the newly launched Internet Everywhere 21MBps modem from Orange is at 6,999/- For the price range you are referring to, what we have that compares in speed is our Internet Everywhere 3G + modems which we retail at Kshs 2,999 inclusive of 1 week free of unlimited internet. Hope this answers your question.
