The future of 5G networks in Africa
The debut is also consistent with the African Telecommunications Union’s (ATU) forecasts, which emphasise how 5G might revolutionise the continent’s economy in their report titled “5G Readiness and Relevant Use Cases in Africa Report,” released on January 30.
The paper claims that 5G might transform applications like online education, remote healthcare, and smart agriculture, hence enhancing the standard of living on the continent.
Going one step further, the Global Association of Mobile Operators and Manufacturers (GSMA), projects that by 2030, 5G networks would bring $26 billion to Africa’s economy. This figure illustrates the massive potential of 5G to strengthen key industries and promote economic expansion throughout the continent.
With ultra-fast speeds, lower latency, and greater connectivity, 5G is transforming the telecoms industry in Africa. Tunisia will now be able to expedite its digital transformation by utilising the new applications that this technology opens up in important sectors.
