MTN  
One Of the Largest Telecommunication Company has conducted a 5G technology and applications trial at its head office in Johannesburg South Africa in partnership with Ericsson.

The news was disclosed on Monday from the MTN headquarters in South Africa after the two companies signed a/an(MOU) memorandum of understanding at AfriCom 2017, to work together on the rollout of 5G technologies in South Africa, One of the first of its kind in Africa.

Some Expert speaks:
That MTN received a temporary license of 800MHz of spectrum in the 15GHz band to conduct its 5G trial, the test achieved a throughput (data transfer rate) of 20Gbps with a latency of fewer than 5 milliseconds (ms), which is the highest achieved on a mobile network in Africa. The 5G trial is based on commercially available baseband hardware and 5G mobility is supported.

Speaking at the event, Chief Technology and Information Officer for MTN SA(South Africa), Giovanni Chiarelli, said that 5G technology offered a whole new world of potential for South Africa and the whole continent at large.


 "With 5G, remote healthcare through connected robots could offer world-class surgery in the most remote parts of the continent and the world. Self-driving cars could change the face of road safety, along with smart agriculture, smart mining and smart cities.
There is no doubt that 5G technology will offer the consumer higher speeds and lower latencies but to achieve this, we need the capability that comes with additional spectrum"

5G is one way, although a majority of us are not familiar with 4G LTE Speed.

The capability of the 5G network is as fast as to be able to transmit data up to at least 20GB per seconds(20gb/s), this incredibly fast and moves the mobile experience to a new level.
