Ghana’s government has ended its exclusive wholesale 5G agreement with Next Gen Infraco (NGIC), opening the market to direct competition among mobile network operators. The move is intended to accelerate the expansion of high-speed mobile services across the country.
MTN Ghana was successful in its application for two lots in the 700 MHz spectrum band. The combined license fee is US$100.9 million.
MTN Ghana will also participate in the licensing process for the 2.3 GHz and 3 GHz bands. Telecel Ghana has announced plans to launch its 5G network by December 2026.
