Mtn has set to launch 5g enabled sim this june, despite the controversies and condemning the 5g network have got during this pandemic. Many think it part of the reason for the outbreak of the virus while some think otherways.
But not to talk of, mtn isnt going to stop their aim in providing a 5g enabled sim, instead they are moving on as they have planned. We all know how fast our 4g enabled sim are and to imagine having 5g enabled sim, browsing world will be at our feet.
This network was first introduced at the TECHFEST in 2018 with the trial launched in November 2019 at both Abuja and Lagos shortly after the company ran a trial for this network in South Africa which achieved up to 20 Gigabyte per second (Gbps) with less than five minutes latency.
Already, MTN has begun promoting its 5G value proposition in its latest Y’ello magazine right in South Africa. The promotion in the Y’ello magazine states that MTN will make the “best network even better with 5G-enabled smartphones”.
This promotion forms part of the launch of the new 5G-enabled Huawei P40 or P40 Pro smartphones in South Africa, MyBroadBand reports.MTN set to launch 5G network in June
When will MTN 5G be launched?
MTN says both post-paid and prepaid customers with 5G-enabled devices and an LTE SIM card qualify for the service. “Current 4G devices will not be able to use the new network, which will require
new 5G-enabled wireless devices,” it said. The 5G service is set to be available on current LTE SIM card customer price plan rates.
In its fine print in the Y’ello magazine, MTN states that its 5G network service offering is valid from Monday 1 June 2020 and that it is only available in LTE coverage areas.
It is understood that delays in bringing some 5G equipment into South Africa have pushed back the planned launch date slightly. It is understood that once this 5G network is successfully launched in South Africa, it is expected to roll out to Nigeria in the second quarter of the year.
We all should prepare for the coming 5g enabled sim and try to get the requirements to be qualified for the 5g enabled sim. The 5g will make our browsing and downloading life the easiest and fastest. We long for the release.
Thanks
