Africa's Emerging Economies are Seeing Significant Growth in the 5G Infrastructure Market

 


5G infrastructure is the next generation of data center solutions for mobile devices and will enable them to work as if they are in a traditional data center. We will see great things coming out of Google, Apple, Baidu, Microsoft and several other companies that are investing billions of dollars in the 5G infrastructure market. Recently, in March 2021, African carrier Safaricom activated its 5G network in Kenya. The new 5G infrastructure, which was launched in the cities of Nairobi, Kisumu, Kisii and Kakamega, is expected to be expanded to 150 sites across nine towns over next twelve months. However, one thing that is often overlooked is what kind of devices will be able to take advantage of this new infrastructure.

With 5G wireless technology, everything will be able to move faster. Think about how you browse the internet these days. It can be very slow sometimes and this causes many people to give up and go back to a slower connection. With 5G wireless technology, your data can be moved at the speed of light, so you never have to worry about a slow connection again. Think about how fast you download files right now with your phone. Such advantages are expected to aid in growth of the5G infrastructure market.
When thinking about legalities of 5G infrastructure, there are three main issues that come up. The first is going to be whether or not the current telecoms are going to be able to work with this new technology. There are some areas that are already being litigated but at the same time new standards may have to be set in place for the telcos to use. Also, there are going to be more rules and regulations regarding the use of 5G wireless technology in vehicles. As with anything though, these are always subject to change. Such regulations may limit growth of the 5G infrastructure market.
Next, we will look at how this will affect the different companies that use the wire line to connect to mobile devices. This is a very important issue because without it businesses will be forced to look at different options. The key to understanding this issue is understanding the current business model for players in the 5G infrastructure market. Cable services companies may need to purchase expensive cables that deliver high bandwidth signals to cell towers. However, if the same signals can be delivered using less costly wireless technology there will be a major boon in the market.

Moving on from the actual cables for voice and data transmission, let us look at how this will affect the different providers of IP networks. In most cases, people will have a preference between DSL, cable, and VoIP. Since this issue affects all three, there will be some shifts in the way that these providers go about their business model. Currently there is some resistance within the industry to moving to IP networks. However, there are some powerful forces that are pushing for this change and it has only been recently that these forces became strong enough to convince the major telcos to change their existing network strategies. If these forces continue to grow strong there will be no stopping this transition in the 5G infrastructure market.
