G is the word on everyone’s lips at the moment and Tanzania is not left behind with Vodacom launching the country’s first 5G network in September 2022. So far our 5G network is active in Dar es Salaam, Arusha and Dodoma. With the recently acquired spectrum, we are poised to strengthen our 4G network and increase rollout of the 5G network.

Fifth-generation wireless (5G) is the is the latest cellular technology, engineered to greatly increase the speed and responsiveness of wireless networks.

The first 5G network was launched three years ago, and the impact of the technology has already been significant in terms of industry spending and commitment. More than ten countries in Africa already have commercial 5G networks, and players in many more countries expect to have commercial 5G by 2025.

As more Telcos in emerging markets begin to commit to 5G rollout, the development of 5G technology is expected to be critical to delivering new solutions to address economic development, healthcare, manufacturing, infrastructure, and even government services.

What will you be able to do with 5G?

With 5G, data transmitted over wireless broadband connections can travel at multigigabit speeds, with potential peak speeds estimated at 20 gigabits per second (Gbps). To enjoy this one only needs a 5G capable device and to cater to our customers needing connectivity in their homes and businesses, we launched the 5G Fixed Wireless Access routers which connects to our 5G network that promises seamless and fast connections. 5G is truly a game changer for businesses as it has the potential to make business processes much easier. Businesses and developers who have tapped into the 5G network are already seeing its transformative effect. Here are some of the reasons your business should be on Vodacom’s 5G network:

1. More business actions can be carried out in less time with faster speed. With speeds of up to ten times higher than 4G, this means faster data transmission of larger files such as images and videos. Increased data speeds can also support IoT, which could benefit your business where IoT is fundamental to your services.

2. A lower latency means fewer glitches and delays.

5G has little to no buffering which means less delay when using the internet. Transferring content to clients happens in a split second so feedback is smooth and immediate. This would bring a great deal of efficiency into your business’ workflow.

3. Communication challenges are addressed by increased connectivity.

5G technology offers increased connection capacity compared to 3G and 4G . This means improved business connectivity to clients and employees as more people and devices can easily communicate at the same time via seamless conference calls, telephone, and virtual interviews etc.

4. Your business will benefit from network slicing.

5G allows for network slicing –a form of virtual network architecture that allows multiple virtual networks to be created on top of a common shared physical infrastructure – so you can own a private 5G network. This will support a multitude of services that place different requirements on the network in terms of functionality and performance.
