Digicel Fiji 4G Network
In July 2013 Digicel Fiji purchased 15 MHz of 700 MHz band spectrum and 15 MHz of 1800 MHz band spectrum for the purposes of rolling out LTE on B3, and B28. Some conflicting reports suggest that Digicel Fiji purchased 800 MHz spectrum for the purposes of B20 deployment, however it appears the Fijian regulator has been unsuccessful in auctioning any 800 MHz spectrum to any carrier due to lack of available hardware.
LTE-A branded as 'Superfast 4G+' was launched in March 2018 with 2C aggregation of B3 (1800 MHz) and B28 (700 MHz). The network has since expanded to include 2100 and 2500 MHz bands.
