Even in the midst of a pandemic by conspiracy theorists condemning the 5G network, MTN plans to launch a 5G network in its entirety from South Africa in June this year.
first introduced at TECHFEST 2018, a test launched in November 2019 in Abuja and Lagos, shortly after the telephone company successfully conducted a network test in South Africa, reaching 20 gigabytes per second (Gbps) in less than five minutes latency .
Telecom is fully launching South Africa’s 5G network and has begun promoting its 5G value proposition in its latest magazine Y’ello.
The promotion in the Y’ello magazine states that MTN will make the “best network even better with 5G-enabled smartphones”.
This promotion forms part of the launch of the new 5G-enabled Huawei P40 or P40 Pro smartphones in South Africa.
When Will MTN 5G be Launched?
MTN says both post-paid and prepaid customers with 5G-enabled devices and an LTE SIM card qualify for the service.
“Current 4G devices will not be able to use the new network, which will require new 5G-enabled wireless devices,” it said.
The 5G service is set to be available on current LTE SIM card customer price plan rates.
In its fine print in the Y’ello magazine, MTN states that its 5G network service offering is valid from Monday 1 June 2020 and that it is only available in LTE coverage areas.
5G will be fully available in S.A this month, then expect it to roll out to Nigeria this second quarter of 2020.
Once launched, you’ll have the option to switch your smartphone to 5G devices or get a wireless router enabled with 5G to use the network. Also expect to see new data promotions regarding the 5G network.
