MTN Uganda launched its 5G network in the East African country last week. The company plans to upgrade base stations to the next-generation technology in all major Ugandan cities over the next two years.
Details
MTN Uganda CEO Sylvia Mulinge stated that the company had launched its commercial 5G in the capital city of Kampala on Friday.
Major cities across Uganda will see base stations upgraded to support 5G spectrum in the coming months – with all being upgraded to 5G by 2024.
What They’re Saying
“We have been mandated with the receiving of this licence to make sure that we’re able to provide internet speeds of at least 50Mbps and 100% indoor coverage in Kampala city by the end of 2024”, said Mulinge.
“This achievement will undoubtedly fuel growth in the ICT sector, strengthening our commitment to progress. The work on this, I’d like to assure our regulator the Ministry of ICT, has already begun. We are planning to ensure that we have all the sites upgraded in all the cities in Uganda with 5G over the next two years even as we work on enhancing the quality of connectivity”.
