So we should wait and not think of advancement?

You can't jump to 5 without completing 4

You can't jump to 5 without completing 4

Do you realize that in some places in Nigeria, they're still struggling with Edge(2.5E) to 3G?

Judging by your logic, then we should have waited to 'complete' 3G or 3.5G before jumping to 4G

nonsense talk

Thanj God Pata mi was absent

5G is good for all Nigerians..

satellite that they can't use to track terrorists movement

Olodo
Too know dey kill you
Na communication sat
Not a spy sat

lessonotes:
Devices will be faster, everything from Mobile Devices, Internet Modems, Smart TVs, Table Top Decoders, embedded systems, vehicle multimedia systems and everything in the Tech space is about to witness a massive boom.

Welcome to the new Era.

Indeed whereas 4G LTE is still slow in many locations

5G will not be different from 4G LTE in the long run

This people just want to roast our immune system small small..

We can't wait for slow people. We have to take a leap forward whenever possible.

ignis:
Have we finished maximizing the benefits of 4G?

Country wey no get 4G yet de shout 5G..


Nonsense..

Ok

Thanks to NCC when are we resuming 5G fully, hope is not Audio

Good development, 5G is a good development unfortunately we don't have budget phone's of 50 to 60k on 5G network I hope transsion company do something quick in this direction, am counting on nokia, xiaomi, Samsung to provide budget phone's on 5G at least 60k up make all man enjoy this wonderful internet evolution.

saajus:
If I were NCC Chairman, I won't issue any new spectrum now. I will first mandate all our Telcos to let 4G reach every nook and cranny of Nigeria before they start investing any dime in 5G. Let 4G be available in our remote villages, highways, farms, forests, Sambisa, just everywhere.

4G itself has a max capacity of 1000Mbps downlink. We are not asking for too much, if our Telcos can make just 20Mbps downlink and may be 7/8Mbps uplink available everywhere, that's what I will count as development. 20Mbps everywhere will perfectly serve the average individual needs.

You do not need a 4G if you have 5G, even the areas with 4G coverage now will eventually be replaced with 5G and will run alongside Starlink from Space X. Both technologies will deliver super high speed for the next gen deployments.

My concern is about the size of the spectrum band allocated to Satellites compared to bandwidth allocation for 5G deployment.

My question is; How do we browse for free with all these services. I dont feel like paying for anything

:The same 5g that causes cancerTo who?

This will be nice

Where did you get your wrong analysis from?

Communication satellites are not used for tracking movements and positions. Those are done using navigation and GPS satellites.

The reason why I think our Telcos should focus on 4G is that it's cheaper to deploy. The cost of building a new 5G cell tower can build two 4G cell towers. 4G is easier to maintain, because it's being around for a while, our Telecom Engineers are already familiar with it. So, you don't need to bring in some Indians or Chinese to help. Another reason is the frequency band that NCC is giving them for 5G. They are giving them 3.4 – 3.52 GHz. In simple physics, the higher the frequency, the lower the wavelength. It means 5G cell tower won't cover so much. Presently MTN, Glo, and the likes deployed their 4G in lower frequency (600-900MHz). It means they will need about two 5G cell towers to cover the same area that their present 4G is covering. I think this 5G thing may be a distraction for real development in our internet service quality. For now, focus should be on quality. Since advanced nations are moving to 5G, our telcos can start buying the 4G equipment they will be trashing/recycling at a cheaper rate. Also remember, people will have to change their phones to 5G compatible phones. We are the poorest nation for Christ's sake.

We won't browse for free. 5G may even raise the cost. I think internet costs may become cheaper when private companies invest a lot in Fiber optics cable. Wireless internet will always be more expensive than cable. But, who will invest in Fiber where there is no security. Country where some stupid guys can dig up and break your cables anyhow. When the Facebook project is completed, it may reduce internet costs for Africa. They are launching hundreds of Satellites to beam internet to Africa. They said it will almost be free for ppl living in villages in Africa.

You cant ignore latest tech that will bring geometric growth to an economy in search of jobs simply because you want to hold on to old tech at cheaper rate. It does not make sense. Very few people will ever need to work for money when 5G is fully deployed worldwide.

@ the end of the day, 5G speed in Nigeria will be like 2G. I don't understand Nigeria sha. 4G wey dey very fast abroad is a snail speed hia

Apostle must here of this

You are right, but let's be realistic. First, we need to know what 5G is bringing. The basic advantage of 5G is speed and latency. Which sectors do you need the very fast speed and latency;

Medical: To do remote surgery. We are still struggling with basic medical. Right now in Nigeria, can you trust a Doctor in the USA to operate on you remotely? By the time he starts, the generator could collapse because of overuse.
Gaming: Only 0.0001% of us can afford VR games that need very fast speed and low latency
Cloud: We don't have a good power supply that will make it work

So, if you critically look at the situation, this is not a priority. Our priority is to improve our coverage. You want to be able to browse the internet anywhere in the country. You want to able to make calls inside the deepest forest in the country. Those are the priority.

All technology is good, but it works differently for different climates. Let's exhaust 4G and massively increase our coverage. Some of us can't even browse in some rooms in our houses. Some of us climb mountains to make calls in our villages. Another advantage why poor countries need to wait is that we are poor and don't have money to throw around. Every new technology comes with challenges in the beginning. Engineers fix it along the line and keep tailoring it to perfection. Let advanced nations use their resources to do the trial first, fix mistakes and we will come in at the very maturity stage maybe in 5 years' time. We won't lose anything cos right now we don't really have businesses that require crazy wireless internet speed.

NCC is absolutely USELESS! All it does is collect bribes and look the other way, while telecom companies rape Nigerians!

Your understanding of 5G digital ecosystem is very limited. Latency and Speed are exactly the basic requirements for robotics, and everything as well as immersive augmented reality for metaverse economy with seamless data processing rate for multi-channel communication. The economy within the digital universe will be so robust that one does not need to work in the real world in order to earn a living. With NFT and cryptocurrencies, the transaction ecosystem will provide so much wealth that all parts of the planet will be covered with the last Generations of Tech.

The roll out of 5G is the best thing to happen to humanity and is also a great curse. Cos we will be able to connect to people's brain and even the mind.

5G on onions and tomatoes economy.
Shame on black people.
Shame...

You are looking at the technology thru one angle. You have to look at it broadly in relation to the Nigerian economy. Remember, we are only talking about 5G in Nigeria's context, not the global context. So, I'm not arguing if 5G is great or not.

How many Crypto farms do we have presently in Nigeria? How many sectors are we using robots in Nigeria right now? How many cloud data centers like Amazon cloud do we have in Nigeria? How many people have VR games at home in Nigeria? How many hospitals have robots to do surgical operations? How many Nigerians can afford $1k 5G compatible phones? If our leaders are great thinkers, those are the questions they need to ask before allowing our Telcos to start investing Billions in 5G.

The basic advantage of 5G over 4G LTE is latency and speed. 5G gives you a latency of less than 1ms, which makes it almost real-time. speed and latency are the only difference. You are talking about its applications. 4G can be used in robotics if it doesn't require low latency.

You are talking just like Nigerian leaders. They want to copy and paste the West without looking at our own peculiar situation. The same way we copy and paste the system of Govt of rich nations and we are complaining there is no money to pay salaries.

Coverage is what NCC should focus on right now. They should inform all Telcos to let 4G be everywhere before attempting any 5G. We should be able to access the internet in our farms, forests, remote villages, highways, etc. If our 5G speed will be like 4G, then what is the purpose. What we call 4G here sometimes looks like 3G in some advanced countries. Sometimes, it is not about the technology, it is about the coverage. A very strong 4G signal could be better than a very weak 5G signal.

Judging by your logic, then we should have waited to 'complete' 3G or 3.5G before jumping to 4G
