Foremost telecommunications, MTN has launched its 5G network in Uganda.
The first 5G network in East Africa was launched on Friday by the telecom company MTN Uganda, a branch of the MTN Group in South Africa.
With almost 15 million subscribers, MTN has Uganda’s largest customer base. It mostly contends with a Bharti Airtel branch in the area.
MTN Uganda’s CEO Sylvia Mulinge stated that all cell sites in key cities would be upgraded to 5G over the following two years and that the firm expected to carry out complete 5G coverage in the capital Kampala by the end of 2024.
