Rivers State has been chosen amongst seven states in the country that will first witness the MTN 5G pilot launch. The others states include, Abuja, Lagos, Maiduguri, Kano, Ibadan and Owerri.
Chief Marketing Officer, MTN Nigeria, Adia Sowho, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.
He said the company has kicked off an open 5G pilot in the lead-up to its highly anticipated commercial launch in the 7 states.
MTN said through its ongoing testing of the 5G infrastructure, its customers with certain enabled devices will be allowed to connect with and try out the new service where coverage is available.
The advanced technology is expected to extend the reach and capacity of MTN Nigeria’s data network in Nigeria and enable much faster speeds and lower latency, giving customers near-instant access to the things they care about and downloads that take seconds, instead of minutes.
