MTN Launches First 5G Technology In Africa by dre11(m): 7:17am On Jan 09, 2018
By Zakariyya Adaramola, with agency reports


MTN says it has achieved download speeds of more than 20 gigabits per second in its first trial of fifth-generation (5G) technology.

“This is the highest achieved on a mobile network in Africa‚” the service provider said in a statement on Monday.

It said it was ready to deploy the technology commercially but could not do so until it had access to additional frequency spectrum.

The Independent Communications Authority of South Africa‚ which regulates spectrum‚ has not yet allocated spectrum for 4G infrastructure‚ TechCentral reported‚ forcing operators to reallocate 2G and 3G spectrum.

Said MTN South Africa chief technology and innovation officer Giovanni Chiarelli: “There is no doubt that 5G will offer the consumer higher speeds and lower latency‚ but to achieve this we need the capacity that comes with additional spectrum.

MTN has a 4G license in Nigeria and could look forward deploying the technology in the country in the near future.

MTN has collaborated with network equipment provider Ericsson on its 5G trial and found that the technology is at least 100 times faster than 4G.

These people are funny.

Your 3G network is comatose (a glorified 2G), you have not perfected your so-called 4g (which is also a super glorified 2G), yet you are introducing a so-called 5G? We don't want, thanks but no thanks. All we ask for is the real 3G. Not once have we experienced real 3G Internet speed in Nigeria. We will be content with that for now.

While waiting for MTN to improve their data services (which will definitely be a long wait), you can increase your height by a few inches in the meantime. A powerful herb combined with targeted exercises can do the magic. Get the full details...... http://www.impressions.ng/how-to-grow-taller-increase-height-naturally/

Well said. Relying on Ericsson network infrastructure. 5G is still on test mode and yet to be available commercially even in the United States. MTN does not have the capability or research process for 5G technology, they are waiting for Ericsson to finalize
