Kenyan Telecom Regulator to Launch a 5G Pilot Later this Year
The Communications Authority of Kenya has announced that they plan to roll out their 5G network on a pilot basis this year.
“We are now set to hold a validation workshop in the next one month to discuss the comments received. Once we adopt the input from the stakeholders, we shall establish a national 5G forum and allocate pilot frequencies,” Ndaro said when Chinese smartphone maker Vivo launched its 5G enabled device in the Kenyan market.
