Digitel has made history by becoming the first telecom company in South Sudan to launch a 5G network. This groundbreaking move promises “lightning-fast speeds and unprecedented connectivity” for 5G users, marking a significant milestone in the country’s telecommunications landscape.
Founded in 2020, Digitel is the first mobile telecom firm owned by South Sudanese citizens. The company’s mission is to improve communications and increase the use of ICTs in South Sudan, a nation with a population of just over 11 million and three telecom providers: Digitel, MTN, and Zain Telecom.
Digitel offers a full range of services, including 2G, 3G, 4G/LTE, internet, and mobile financial services. The introduction of 5G is set to enhance these offerings, providing faster speeds, lower latency, higher capacity, and improved network reliability, according to Accenture.
Analysts predict that the 5G technology will accelerate the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT), leading to increased automation and efficiency. This technological advancement is expected to significantly improve the quality of life for South Sudanese citizens.
Digitel’s 5G launch underscores the company’s commitment to advancing ICT in South Sudan and highlights its role as a leader in the region’s digital transformation. By pioneering 5G, Digitel is setting the stage for a more connected and technologically advanced South Sudan.
This monumental achievement not only positions Digitel as a trailblazer in the telecommunications industry but also paves the way for future innovations and economic growth in South Sudan.
