MTN currently offers its 5G service in two main variants:
5G Mobile – Connect to MTN’s 5G network and enjoy fast connectivity on the go.
5G Wi-Fi – A connected plug-and-play solution that connects Wi-Fi-enabled devices.
For small and medium-sized businesses in South Africa, this next-generation of mobile network connectivity offers several substantial benefits over current technologies.
As fast as fibre
5G can produce extremely fast download and upload speeds and is capable of competing with fibre connectivity.
MTN Business’ 5G Wi-Fi, for example, delivers average speeds of 100Mbps and peak speeds of 500Mbps.
5G mobile offers average speeds of 50Mbps and peak speeds of 500Mbps.
Being able to use the Internet at these speeds will empower businesses and their employees to access the data and resources they need in the blink of an eye.
Additionally, backing up data to the cloud will take seconds, rather than minutes.
Super responsive connectivity
Another key characteristic of 5G is that it boasts low latency, which means the time between a request being sent from a device to the requested data arriving or action being completed is very short.
This is excellent news for mission-critical use cases which require lightning-quick responsiveness.
Pandemic-proof connectivity
5G networks also allow for a higher number of devices to be connected in the same area.
This means that during periods of heavy demand, network performance will not degrade as significantly as with LTE.
With reliable and fast broadband Internet essential for a business to serve its customers and keep everyday operations going, this robust connectivity is crucial.
Additionally, 5G will also enable businesses to roll out elaborate smart IoT networks in warehouses and across their assets in the future, enabling better monitoring capabilities.
