The government has launched its high-speed internet service 5G today, November 1, 2024, in Accra.
The company fronting this service, NextGen Infraco, stated that it stands ready to assist the country in leveraging 5G to drive critical sectors of the economy for long-term benefit.
The Managing Director of NextGen Infraco, Tenu Awoonor, in his opening remarks at the official launch, promised that while the government seeks to revolutionise the country’s digital landscape, NextGen Infraco will ensure there is financial and economic value for the country’s huge investment in this global transition.
“With 5G we can create a more inclusive society where no one in Ghana is left behind. Whether a farmer in Tamale, a small business owner in Kumasi or a student in Cape Coast, 5G will connect you to the world and open doors to new opportunities.
“At NextGen Infraco, we are deeply proud to play our part in this transformation. We are not just watching, we are investing in the future of Ghana. We believe the 5G is not only a tool for innovation but a catalyst for growth, development and empowerment of every Ghanaian.
“As we stand here today on the bricks of this new digital front, I want to remind us all that this is just the beginning. Together, we will harness the power of 5G to build a stronger and more prosperous Ghana,” he stated.
Ghana is joining the adoption of 5G – a move expected to significantly improve mobile connectivity and broaden digital inclusion in the country.
NextGen Infraco is a consortium formed between the government of Ghana and seven other partners.
They are; Ascend Digital, K-NET, Radisys, Nokia, and Tech Mahindra and two telcos – AT Ghana and Telecel Ghana.
