While the 5G initiation approval by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) was still pending, MTN went on to showcase the live demo of the technology, saying the display was an attempt to inform Nigerians about the product and to exhibit the proficiencies and potentials of 5G in driving economic growth and social inclusion.
“5G offers tremendous benefits in terms of speed, latency (less delays), efficiency and security.
MTN says its 5G technology is at least 100 times faster than 4G and promises faster download and upload times.
During the trial event held in Lagos, the application of this technology was demonstrated in use cases such as virtual reality, video conferencing, gaming, and ‘5G-connected healthcare’.
The company described the speed as the highest achieved on any mobile network in Africa.
“5G will make our life better, drive incremental capacity and open up new businesses.
MTN as a company is constantly making efforts to break barriers by democratizing voice and data connectivity in order to improve subscriber experience, and has invested over NGN 800 Bn in infrastructure in Nigeria,” said MTN Nigeria’s CEO, Ferdi Moolman, during last year’s announcement.
