The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has announced that all is set for the 5G service to be rolled out from November 1, 2024.<\/p>\n
The Minister disclosed this during an interview on Peace FM\u2019s Kokrokoo on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.<\/p>\n
Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful noted that, the necessary structures have been put in place for the service to commence.<\/p>\n
Government had earlier announced that the 5G service will be rolled out by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
What is 5G service?<\/strong><\/p>\n5G service has been described as the Fifth Generation of Wireless Technology, which offers higher internet speed, higher upload and download speed, with more consistent connections and improved capacity.<\/p>\n
5G networks run on the same radio frequencies as their predecessors, 3G, 4G and 4G LTE networks, which previously served most mobile phones worldwide.<\/p>\n
However, improvements in speed, latency and\u00a0bandwidth\u00a0give\u00a05G networks\u00a0shorter download and upload times, stronger connectivity and better reliability, making them the natural successor to 4G technology.<\/p>\n
It is said to be 10 times faster than the 4 G Plus service.<\/p>\n
Government on 5G roll out<\/strong><\/p>\nIn an earlier engagement, Mrs. Owusu-Ekuful revealed that government has partnered with seven industry players to establish a shared infrastructure for 5G services with the aim of delivering affordable and high-speed mobile broadband services across Ghana.<\/p>\n
During a Meet-to-the Press engagement earlier this year, She revealed that the 5G service is expected to bring numerous benefits to Ghanaians, including faster data speeds, lower latency, and increased connectivity.<\/p>\n
This will enable citizens to access digital services, including healthcare, education, and financial services, more efficiently and effectively.<\/p>\n
5G service provision and consortium of companies<\/strong><\/p>\nGovernment has awarded the 5G license to The Next Gen InfraCo NGIC\u2019s,\u00a0\u00a0 a new shared\u00a0 Infrastructure Company, co-promoted by the government and seven other firms .<\/p>\n
This new shared infrastructure, according to government is aimed at delivering affordable 5G mobile broadband services across Ghana.<\/p>\n
The partners include Ascend Digital, K-NET, Radisys, Nokia, Tech Mahindra, AT Ghana, and Telecel Ghana.<\/p>\n
