Across the North African and Sub-Sahara region, GSA is currently tracking 604 public networks including LTE, LTE-Advanced, 5G and fixed wireless access. 2G and 3G networks are being switched off, non-terrestrial satellite services are being launched, and 5G Standalone is in the early stages of being evaluated, trialled and deployed.
What is the true status of 4G and 5G connectivity in Africa? What role will non-terrestrial networks play? And how will the availability of spectrum shape the future of connectivity across the continent?
Live webinar: Tuesday 22nd October @ 10:00 UK
In this regional spotlight webinar, the GSA Research team share the latest data on:
