Kenyan business publication Business Daily reported that the telco had acquired the necessary spectrum in Kenya, and is planning to introduce 5G network in high-income neighbourhoods in Kenya.
Airtel Africa CEO Segun Ogunsanya, says the service will be launched in selected cities where Airtel recognises enough devices and enough purchasing power to really enjoy the benefits of 5G.
He believes that 5G is good in the medium term adding that their focus will continue to be on expanding our 4G footprint, and selectively launching 5G to capture opportunities in high-income neighbourhoods.
