5G, which is the fifth generation of mobile data technologies, is said to be about 10 times faster than 4G and 100 times faster than 3G
Mobile network operators are taking advantage of the temporary allocation of spectrum to ramp up the rollout of 5G network.
SA has hailed the prospects of 5G mobile technology and what it could bring in terms of economic growth and advancement for years. Despite Rain having first-mover advantage, one could argue that 5G would only become a mainstream feature in the country when the large operators — MTN, Telkom, Cell C and Vodacom — started offering the service.
To this end, Rain, of which Patrice Motsepe’s African Rainbow Capital Investments holds about a fifth, says there has been “an even more positive uptake” when it added a more affordable “standard 5G” unlimited access service for R699 to its product range, in addition to its “premium” version costing R999.
“This new paradigm is driven by vastly greater data consumption, facilitated by the mass connectivity of 4G/5G technology,” he says.
