Ghana will introduce 5G services on November 1, 2024, a short delay from the initial September target. The government has partnered with several tech companies, including Ascend Digital, K-NET, Nokia, and Telecel Ghana, to create a shared 5G platform.
The rollout of 5G services is expected to bring numerous benefits to Ghanaians, including faster data speeds, lower latency, and increased connectivity.
The move is expected to revolutionise the country's digital landscape and bring high-speed mobile broadband services to Ghanaians.
The Next-Gen Infrastructure Company (NGIC), established by the partners, has been awarded a 5G license and is expected to launch 5G services across Ghana within the coming month, with MTN involved in the planning. This team effort aims to bring 5G to more people across Ghana, marking a big step forward in the country's digital growth.
The arrival of 5G puts Ghana among the tech leaders in West Africa. It's expected to improve internet speeds, help businesses grow, and open doors for new tech like smart cities. Introducing 5G would create an ecosystem that will attract foreign investors and boost local tech startups.
