Uztelecom launches 5G across Uzbekistan, teases 5G-A news

Service provider MTN South Africa and technology giant ZTE Corporation have announced Africa’s first 5G ultra-range maritime offshore coverage at Mossel Bay, Western Cape, South Africa.

One week after launching 5G across Uzbekistan, state-owned telco Uzbektelecom JSC, which operates as Uztelecom, made good on its promise to launch 5G-Advanced (a.k.a. 5.5G) this week, albeit only for testing.

Orange Liberia and ZTE said on Thursday they have successfully completed a project to build new base station sites in rural areas across the country that they say significantly enhances network coverage in those areas.
