MTN to Distribute R99 ($5.42) 4G Smartphones as SA Phases Out 2G, 3G Networks

Nokia has strengthened its collaboration with Next-Gen InfraCo (NGIC) by advancing the development of a 5G mobile core network. 

This builds on an ongoing partnership, where Nokia is a strategic technology partner in establishing Ghana’s first 5G network. 

As a shared neutral host network, NGIC will leverage this 5G infrastructure to provide wholesale services to various mobile operators in Ghana, enabling them to deliver high-speed, reliable 5G connectivity to their customers.

The 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) Core will provide the security, resiliency and reliability that is needed to deliver 5G services in Ghana. 

This agreement includes Nokia’s Cloud Mobility Manager (CMM) and Cloud Mobile Gateway (CMG), in addition to the earlier announced 4G and 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) AirScale base stations, and will be comprehensively managed by Nokia’s MantaRay network management system. 

Furthermore, Nokia will provide its end-to-end service suite for the full scope of the deal, making Nokia an end-to-end network partner of NGIC.

 The Nokia and NGIC 5G open-access and cloud-based network will offer mobile operators in Ghana a shared, secure, environmentally sustainable and high-speed network that will enable the rapid expansion of 5G services with reduced capital expenditure. 

In the future, the network will enable newer capabilities, like enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communication and ultra-reliable low-latency communication.

NGIC plans to launch its wholesale 4G and 5G Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) within 2024.

Additionally, to keep the shared network at the forefront of technology, Nokia and NGIC will build a flagship 4G/5G Center of Excellence in Ghana that will serve as a test bed for newer technologies and use cases, and also demonstrate Nokia’s capabilities on network sharing, Cloud RAN and Open RAN.

Harikirit Singh, executive director of NGIC Ghana, said: “We chose Nokia because they are a trusted and proven partner in Africa that can deliver on our ambitions to introduce 5G services in Ghana. As NGIC is a wholesale network provider to mobile operators in Ghana, Nokia’s 5G RAN and Core solution is a key part of our network evolution as it incorporates the flexibility, scalability, resilience and security that we need as the sole 5G network in the country. This will enable us to integrate more seamlessly with our clients’ networks to deliver 5G services to the people and businesses of Ghana.”

 Michael Tseytlin, chief technology officer of NGIC Ghana, stated: “In partnership with Nokia, we will empower our customers to fully benefit from 5G in Ghana, with plans to extend this to other regions in Africa. NGIC will utilize Nokia’s technology and products to deploy network infrastructure and related services, aiming to serve both enterprise and consumer markets. This initiative will help bridge the digital divide and introduce new services in finance, healthcare and education to enable Ghana’s transition to the digital economy.”

We are committed to the success of the NGIC network to help realize their innovative vision to bridge the digital divide in Ghana.”
