Ghana has officially joined the 5G revolution, with President Nana Akufo-Addo launching the high-speed network to drive digital transformation and economic growth. The rollout, which begins in Accra, Kumasi, and Takoradi, marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s journey towards becoming a digital economy hub.
Key Benefits of 5G in Ghana:
– Faster Speeds: Up to 100 times faster than 4G, enabling seamless digital experiences
– Improved Connectivity: Enhanced digital infrastructure for faster and more reliable internet access
– Economic Growth: Opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises to expand market reach and improve logistics
– Digital Inclusion: Creating an inclusive digital ecosystem that fosters job creation and economic diversification
The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, emphasized the government’s commitment to leveraging technology to drive economic growth, improve healthcare, education, and digital payment transactions. Ghana joins a select group of African countries with 5G capabilities, including South Africa, Nigeria, and Egypt.
