MTN Cameroon's aim to deploy 5G connection is being hampered by a lack of a regulatory framework for the technology, according to CEO Mitwa Ng'ambi.
According to Ng'ambi, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications is leading the effort to introduce 5G technology in Cameroon, and progress has been achieved in terms of developing a regulatory framework for the technology to operate.
MTN Cameroon requested a 5G testing license from the Telecommunications Regulatory Board in 2019, but received no response, delaying the company's goal of being the country's first mobile network provider to offer 5G connectivity.
