MTN Ghana is looking to launch its 5G network in Ghana in 2022 according to MTN Ghana’s CEO Mr. Selorm Adadevoh.
Speaking at a recent Business Breakfast programme at the MTN House at Ridge, Mr Selorm Adadevoh stated that MTN Ghana has always been to embrace change and serve customers with products as and when the need arises.
“Innovation has been a key pillar of our growth. We are always trying to make sure we can be the first to launch the next technology but not only to be the first but to actually bring that technology to the market and create value out of that technology. So 2G, 3G, 4G, and now 5G hopefully next year“, he stated.
The MTN Ghana CEO also stated that there would be continuous investment to make cellular and data connectivity available in even the most rural areas of the country.
The executive also revealed MTN Ghana now expects to invest USD200 million in network infrastructure upgrades in 2021, a significant increase on the USD150 million initially earmarked, following high demand for data during the COVID-19 pandemic. The company notably plans to deploy 4G at all its base stations in Accra by the close of this year and every site nationwide by the end of 2022.
MTN currently dominates the mobile and data space in Ghana with a marketshare of about 68%.
Currently, 5G networks are available in South Africa and Kenya on MTN and Vodacom. 5G trials are ongoing in Gabon, Lesotho, Nigeria, Uganda, Egypt and Morocco.
