Enjoy wide coverage with LTE
Wide-open spaces, although pretty, pose a challenge for communications. LTE carries your connection in the sky to bring high-speed wireless connectivity to locations that were previously out of reach. Although LTE and LTE-A are essentially the same technology, Our business LTE uses the Cell C network. This broadens our coverage and gives you extra choice when seeking a solution that perfectly matches your available connectivity, business requirements and budget. Our expanded reach is yours to leverage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do i configure my CellC LTE APN ?

What is the difference between Rain’s LTE-A network and Cell C’s LTE network?

The technology behind LTE and LTE-A is essentially the same but LTE-A uses a more advanced set of standards. It’s up to you to match your data, business requirements and budget with the options available.
How do I check if I fall into an LTE coverage area?
A coverage map is provided for you to check if your premises is in range of the Cell C LTE network. No colour over the map means there is no coverage in your area.
What speeds can one expect on Cell C’s LTE network?
Cell C advertise speeds of 69Mbps download and up to 25Mbps upload on their network, although this is dependent on the number of users connecting to the device, distance to tower, line of sight, the number of users on that specific base station, as well as spectrum allocation.
Can I connect to the Internet if I insert my Cell C LTE SIM into another device?
The LTE SIM and router are configured and linked after the purchase of the service and therefore work as a single unit.
What is the order or prioritisation of data depletion?
Monthly inclusive data will deplete first, followed by top up data.
