Ghana launched its first 5G network, a major milestone in the country’s digital transformation journey and economic advancement.

Next-Gen InfraCo, a consortium of telecommunication service companies has been granted exclusive rights for ten years to roll out 5G and 4G infrastructure, aiming to boost network reliability nationwide.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo celebrated the launch as a transformative step toward a digitally inclusive Ghana.

“This new technology is more than just faster internet, but a leap forward in connectivity that aligns with Ghana’s vision to become a digital economy hub, accelerating growth, enhancing services, and transforming lives across all sectors,” he stated during the event on Friday, November 1.

With this 5G launch, Ghana joins other African countries such as South Africa, Nigeria, and Mauritius in embracing next-generation connectivity.
