Safaricom has today announced the launch of its 5G network in Kenya. This is a major milestone for the company and for the country as a whole, as it becomes the first operator in East Africa to offer 5G services. The launch comes just a week after the government issued a license for the rollout of 5G services in the country.
Safaricom has been working hard to roll out its 5G network across the country, and today's launch is a major step forward. The company has said that it will initially offer 5G services in Nairobi and Mombasa, with plans to roll out to other major towns and cities in the coming months.
The CEO, Peter Ndegwa had this to say at the launching ceremony “We view 5G as being critical in delivering new solutions that will address economic development, healthcare, manufacturing, infrastructure and even delivery of government services...".
The launch of 5G services in Kenya is a major boost for the country's economy and will help to spur innovation and investment. 5G will enable faster mobile broadband speeds, which will be a major benefit for businesses and consumers alike. It will also pave the way for new and innovative applications and services, which will have a transformative impact on many industries.
The launch of 5G services in Kenya is just the latest example of Safaricom's commitment to invest in the country's digital infrastructure. The company has already rolled out 4G services across the country and has plans to roll out fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband in the coming months.
