MTN Congo Launches 5G, Claims First in Central Africa

By Ifeoma Joy Okorie

MTN Congo announced the deployment of its 5G network in Congo, claiming that the country is the first to launch 5G in Central Africa and a “digital revolution” that will transform Congolese lives.

This comes two years after MTN Congo launched its pilot-phase 5G network in Congo in October 2022, reportedly becoming the first operator in the country to launch a 5G pilot scheme.
