GO is one step closer to offering 4G+ mobile internet to its customers, after technicians successfully tested the technology in its laboratories. 

4G+ combines 4G frequencies together to offer download and upload speeds many times faster than traditional 4G which do not drop when many users are connected all at once. 

Having successfully completed lab tests, the company will now proceed to field tests in early 2017. Once the regulator has allocated GO the necessary spectrum, the company will then begin rolling out 4G+ nationwide. 

GO CEO Yiannos Michaelides said the technology would "bring a further significant improvement to the mobile internet experience of GO customers."

He said 4G+ had been made possible thanks to the company's foresight in investing in fibre-connected mobile internet infrastructure. GO's network is the only 100 per cent fibre-connected mobile internet infrastructure in Malta.
