Get a quoteThe Government of Ghana has announced its partnership with seven industry players on a new shared infrastructure to deliver affordable 5G mobile broadband services across Ghana. The seven partners are Ascend Digital, K-NET, Radisys, Nokia, and Tech Mahindra and two telcos – AT Ghana and Telecel Ghana.
Full nationwide coverage, including rural areas, is targeted for completion by 2026. By leveraging NGIC’s infrastructure, telecommunications providers can swiftly deliver 5G services, fostering growth, innovation, and digital inclusivity across Ghana.
Techfocus24 gathered from very reliable sources that MTN Ghana is having a separate discussion with the government on their 5G strategy, possibly outside of the shared infrastructure arrangement. It is early days yet. Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!
Meanwhile, the leading telco in Ghana, which is also the only significant market power (SMP), MTN Ghana is completely missing from the picture in this all-important shared 5G infrastructure.
CEO of Ascend Digital and Executive Director, of NGIC, Harkirit Singh said, “NGIC intends to launch its wholesale 4G/ 5G Network as a Service and make it available to all mobile network operators within the next six months.
Minister for Communications and Digitalization, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful said, “The creation of a shared 5G Mobile Broadband Infrastructure is critical for delivering affordable, high-speed data access to the people of Ghana and help achieve our Digital Ghana vision.
