Africa is a continent of enormous contrasts in mobile connectivity. Major East African capitals, North African cities, and South Africa's urban centers have strong 4G LTE networks that rival many developed-world cities. Remote national parks, desert regions, and rural areas across sub-Saharan Africa often have no signal at all.
