Nokia has announced a new partnership with Telecom Egypt to introduce 5G technology to Egypt, marking the first deployment of its kind in the country. The 5G rollout will cover key cities, including Alexandria, Aswan, Cairo, Giza, and Luxor. The deployment is scheduled to begin later this year.
Under the agreement, Nokia will deploy its 5G radio access network (RAN) equipment from its AirScale portfolio, which includes baseband units and the latest generation of Massive MIMO radios. These solutions feature Nokia’s energy-efficient ReefShark System-on-Chip technology. Nokia will also provide professional services for deployment, integration, and network optimization.
The introduction of 5G technology will significantly increase capacity for seamless connectivity in some of Egypt’s most densely populated areas, supporting a wide range of applications and services.
Earlier this year, Telecom Egypt secured the country’s first 5G license, valid for 15 years.
Key Points:
• Partnership: Nokia partners with Telecom Egypt to launch 5G technology in Egypt.
• Deployment: 5G rollout planned for cities including Alexandria, Aswan, Cairo, Giza, and Luxor, using Nokia’s AirScale portfolio.
