Songotedo-Lagos Benchmark Survey: 4G dominance
As part of the National NetQ Benchmark series (NNB), operators across a number of locations within Nigeria would be benchmarked and Lagos with its buzzing population has to be considered first. As population in Lagos increases, new developments arise and Songotedo is one of these new developments. Songotedo is a growing district with a mall equipped with a cinema house, commercial properties and an ever growing residential population. With saturated city centers, new development areas provide network operators with the opportunity to capture new subscribers. It is therefore important for the customer to be able to make informed decisions across a number of performance indexes and this is where NNB series play a very important role. Test is carried out to benchmark the mobile networks operating in Songotedo from the perspective of a customer.
