JOHANNESBURG – In a historic move, data-only network operator rain gained a head start over its hamstrung competitors yesterday by launching Africa's first 5G network. Khaya Dlanga, rain’s chief marketing officer, said: “
rain said it was leveraging its 4G data networking infrastructure in building the 5G network in its regulated 3600 MHz spectrum band. World Wide Worx managing director Arthur Goldstuck said: “It is a significant moment in the history of broadband evolution in South Africa. Competitors will dismiss it as a gimmick and limited to only a few narrowly-defined areas of coverage, but it has to start somewhere. It can't wait for the government to get over its regulatory sloth and actually do something about freeing up spectrum needed for high-speed broadband.
He said the launch would probably lead increased pressure on the government and the regulator to get its act together with regard to issuing spectrum and increased efforts at innovation in re-purposing existing spectrum to replicate the 5G experience.
