For your own good if u use the 5g don't open Facebook or Instagram or YouTube. Just a click and d whole video would downloadin seconds.

If u open IG once u open a page d whole profile would download.

Data would be so expensive

Why is mtn not doing this trial in s/africa?
Because they (south Africans) known better, 5G is still in critical stages. The world is divided in the issue of its safety, while American FDA insists that it's safe, WHO thinks it can cause cancer.
SO I ask again why is mtn doing this pilot testing in Nigeria?

Don't be ignorant, South Africa already have a working 5g network that currently in usuage

My candid opinion is that as technology is progressing, affordability should also be considered.

Its terrible if unlimited internet access is a reality for only a privileged few.......

For me ooo, before you give me 5G, give me unlimited 4G cheap and let me enjoy that for a while. cool cool cool

That's just me sha. grin grin wink

MTN Nigeria PLC (MTN) announced that Nigeria has become the first country in West Africa to trial 5G technology and applications. The result of a strong collaboration between the Ministry of Communications Technology and Digital Economy, the Nigerian Communications Commission, MTN and Huawei (Abuja), ZTE (Calabar) and Ericsson (Lagos.) This immersive demo and experience will travel across three Nigerian cities to showcase the capabilities of 5G and its potential to enable economic growth, and social inclusion.

By working together, MTN and its partner — Huawei, were able to provide a glimpse into a range of 5G use cases and applications at a testing Lab designed to show proof-of-concept in Abuja. Standing alongside former Super Eagles captain, legendary Joseph Yobo, attendees got to match their skills against an artificial-intelligence powered goalie; immerse themselves in a high-speed, low-latency virtual reality gaming world; experience ultra-high-speed streaming and downloads on 5G devices; and engage in discourse with life-like holographic projections.

3D holographic communication has potential applications for education, medical imaging, video conferencing and gaming, and requires about four times as much data as a streaming 4K video. That means that 5G is best suited to support this kind of application on a mobile network and to enable its use. It also demonstrates how 5G has the potential to support key socio-economic objectives Nigeria has set for itself and to be a key contributor to the emergence of a fully digital economy.

MTN was honoured to host the Honourable Minister of Communications and Digital Economy, Dr. Isa Pantami; the Chairman of Nigerian Communications Commission, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, and the Chairman, the Executive Vice-Chairman of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Prof. Garba Danbatta; House of Representatives, Committee on Communications, Honourable Akeem Adeyemi at the launch event, without whom the demo would not have been possible.

Speaking shortly after taking a tour of the exhibition booths, Dr. Pantami underlined the potential of 5G for sustainable growth. “I believe as long as we are able to handle the potential challenges, the deployment of 5G is very critical to our economy, because of so many advantages of 5G, the issue of latency, speed and many more.”

Stressing the importance of an enabling regulatory framework and protecting telecommunications infrastructure, Dr. Pantami stated that on the instruction of the President, he has signed a draft Executive Order declaring telecommunications infrastructure ‘critical national infrastructure’ which has been forwarded to the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation for review. The Minister referred to the proposed Executive Order as a short-term measure, stressing that the President has instructed that proper legislation be facilitated to deal conclusively with threats to telecommunications infrastructure.

Highlighting the importance of partnerships, Ferdi Moolman, the Chief Executive Officer, MTN Nigeria said “Pushing boundaries is easier when your aspirations are supported by likeminded people. We are here today because of the support and guidance of the Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy and the Nigerian Communications Commission who provided the trial spectrum used for this.”

Also, the key to this achievement is our equipment vendors who shared our vision, and whose capabilities were brought to bear in making the 5G trials across the country a reality. We are grateful for these partners, our customers and everyone who made it possible. Today’s success underlines the fact that we are good together.”

Mazen Mroue, Chief Operating Officer, MTN Nigeria stated that “In collaboration with our technical partners and the support of the Federal Government, we are proudly putting Nigeria on the 5G technology map. As we continue to invest in technology solutions to meet the wide needs of our customers, MTN will continue to strengthen these partnerships as we move to build our 5G capacity in future, guided by the standards and spectrum set by the Nigerian Communications Commission.”

In addition to the bandwidth increase for seamless video streaming or the next social application playground, 5G technology supports real-time, ultra-reliable communication between massive numbers of devices.

It creates vast possibilities in innovation and transformation, and will immensely improve quality of living, as users gain a better experience of services and technology in general — from financial services, healthcare, education, and even public service delivery to more leisurely purposes, such as video streaming services, gaming and even self-driving cars.

“5G offers tremendous benefits in terms of speed, latency (fewer delays), efficiency and security. This pilot offers a unique opportunity for us to explore use-cases and applications in Nigeria, and we are excited about its potential for our country and our company” noted Mohammed Rufai, Chief Technical Officer, MTN Nigeria.

Following the successful demonstration in Abuja, the 5G-demo train moves to Calabar and Lagos. In addition to which 5G trials will be run in four other cities across the country. The 5G trial will run for three months utilizing the trial spectrum allocated to MTN by the NCC.

Good move by mtn.

But mtn should join in the effort in calling the presidency to order. They should reach Buhari through the ministry of communication to tell President Buhari to stop using SARS and the Nigeria Police to be pursuing Nigerians found in possession of smartphone and laptops.

The fraud suspicion is just too high.

Any young man with a laptop or smartphone is picked up without due processs and charge to court.

We can not grow internet technologies given President Buhari manner of addressing issues.

Bloggers, website designers are now afraid to even move on the streets with even their phones for fearing of molestation.

Haba fear God na, MTN 4G is available in most cities in Nigeria. At least most that i have visited recently. The only state capital i visited and i didn't get 4G coverage was Lokoja

Although mtn's data doesn't last they are still the best in the game of telecom as far as Nigeria is concerned.

The thing is at this exibition 5G experience will be available to all connected phones but in reality even 4G have not been distributed in Nigeria, What u see in ur phones showing 4G is just programme to show 4G but real 4G service is also available in few selected places in nigerian

Well they should leave it in South Africa for now , I might be wrong about 5G being in South Africa, but I'm not wrong 5G being in critical stage. Rain ooo or mtn they should keep their 5G for now.
