MTN Congo has officially launched 5G, positioning the Republic of Congo as the fifth African country in MTN Group’s rollout of ultra-fast broadband technology. This landmark achievement was celebrated at a high-profile ceremony presided over by President Denis Sassou N’guesso, alongside MTN Group Senior Vice President Ebenezer Twum Asante and MTN Congo-Brazzaville CEO Mohammed Rufai. The event underscores MTN’s commitment to driving digital transformation across its markets.
The rollout of 5G in Congo marks a significant milestone in MTN Group’s mission to enable a modern connected life. Following its inaugural 5G launch in South Africa in 2020, MTN has successfully expanded the service to Nigeria, Uganda, Zambia, and now Congo. This continued investment in next-generation connectivity highlights the company’s role as a technology leader in Africa.
With 3.7 million subscribers in Congo as of September 2024, the new 5G network will enhance connectivity, improve internet speeds, and unlock opportunities for innovation across various sectors. The introduction of 5G is expected to revolutionize industries such as healthcare, education, finance, and entertainment, driving economic growth and improving the quality of life for millions of Congolese.
The 5G network will enable faster and more reliable communication, providing the foundation for advancements such as the Internet of Things (IoT), smart cities, and artificial intelligence. By bridging the digital divide, this transformative technology will empower individuals and businesses with access to world-class digital solutions.
MTN’s launch of 5G in Congo is part of a broader strategy to expand its footprint in high-speed internet connectivity. Trials are already underway in Benin and South Sudan, signaling MTN’s ambition to make 5G a reality for more African countries. This strategic expansion aligns with MTN’s vision to create leading digital platforms for Africa’s progress.
This historic milestone reinforces MTN’s commitment to shaping the future of technology in Africa. By enabling ultra-fast broadband access, MTN Congo is paving the way for innovation, economic growth, and a digitally empowered future in the Republic of Congo and beyond.
