Recalling the 4G LTE journey, the outgoing Chief Executive Officer of Vodafone Ghana, Yolanda Cuba said: "Today, our business takes on a very different perspective – we have reinvented ourselves with the launch of 4G. Our customers – the very reason we are doing this – will get an opportunity to experience speeds that are ten times faster than any they have previously enjoyed."
