Harare-based internet access provider Aquiva Wireless says it plans to roll out a new standard for wireless data communications technology that will push forward the growth of the country's telecommunications industry.

The company's chief executive, Brian Maphosa, said the next enabling technology would be Long Term Evolution, a technology that is only available across 4G radio wavelengths, but offers much greater speed and capacity.

He said they would over the next 3 years invest up to $80 million in establishing nationwide presence, expanding its service and leveraging new technology because data rather than voice would dominate the way people and businesses conduct their affairs in the near future.
