The 5G wireless communication technology will enable data connections that are faster on mobile services when compared to the fastest fixed broadband services, with its true potential capable of enabling entirely new categories of applications.
Many governments across Africa have been optimistic about the launch of the 5G network on the African continent because it will be very pivotal to moving African nations from the developing phase into the developed stage.
Although some African nations are still struggling to launch the 5G network, due to challenges ranging from infrastructure, expensive nature, adoption issues, as well as the devices needed to utilize it.
However, this initiative by these African tech firms BB incubator, Ludique works, and Start North to spread 5G tech spaces across the African continent is very commendable as it will launch a new vista in the tech ecosystem as well as birth innovations.
Africa no doubt has a young population and growing markets with the potential to become a powerhouse. The continent’s tech ecosystem is very vibrant, supported by a network of more than 600 tech hubs. With the launch of the 5G tech spaces across the continent, it will no doubt create new opportunities for tech start-ups in the African region to be innovative as well as develop locally relevant solutions for the benefit of the society.
Given the overlapping timezones between Europe and Africa, a large number of Europeans will be able to access technology, skilled labor, and services from Africa, via the 5G enabled remote connections in real-time. The 5G Mokki tech spaces also disclosed its plans to provide the technology that enables advanced learning environments with remote connectivity, as well as offering solution content in the fields of technology and entrepreneurship.
The 5G Mokki tech spaces network will also provide an opportunity for International Corporations to tap into highly skilled Young African talent, not only to render remote work but to also spur innovation. The launch of the 5G network will also be beneficial to businesses as it moves at a faster speed, high latency, and high capacity that will transform consumer and business experiences.
A vast number of African nations must move fast ahead of the 5G reality because it will be key to drive for a digital economy. Countries are already adopting 5G to improve their digital economy, as well as connecting the opportunities and devices to endless possibilities. With the adoption of 5G in African nations, they will be able to compete with global competitiveness.
