Today, Telecom Egypt, the leading company in providing communications and information technology services in Egypt, announced a new partnership with the international company Nokia to provide data services using fifth generation technology in Egypt. The cooperation aims to revolutionize the field of communications in the country by introducing fifth-generation mobile phone technology in a number of major cities: Giza, Luxor, Aswan, and Alexandria. Nokia will provide the integrated devices necessary to provide these services, which will ensure an exceptional experience for Telecom Egypt customers, including access to higher speeds, greater capacities, and better quality of data services, and the services will be launched later this year.
Under this agreement, Nokia will deploy its most advanced 5G availability network equipment in the industry, consisting of baseband units and the latest generation of wireless antenna devices. This is based on energy-saving technical solutions, which provide wide-ranging capacity and coverage for the fifth generation, in addition to facilitating the deployment and installation of station devices. Nokia will also provide a range of technical support services, including installation, integration and network efficiency services.
5G technology will provide many advantages and opportunities, including increased capacities that ensure seamless connectivity in densely populated areas. This technology will also support a wide range of applications and services for institutional and corporate customers, leading to increased download speed rates, providing content and live streaming services more smoothly and improving network performance as a whole. All of this will contribute to enhancing innovation and raising efficiency across the various sectors of the economy in an unprecedented way, enabling customers to keep pace with the rapid digital development that the world is currently witnessing.
Earlier this year, Telecom Egypt obtained a license to provide fifth generation mobile phone services in Egypt for a period of 15 years.
Engineer Mohamed Al-Fawy, Executive Vice President for Technical Affairs at Telecom Egypt, said: “Telecom Egypt is keen to adopt the latest telecommunications technologies in the world, which confirms our commitment to providing advanced telecommunications services, and places us at the forefront of the fifth generation revolution, which allows our individual and institutional customers to obtain Mobile broadband services at high speeds and better quality, and supports many new applications that benefit from the low latency that characterizes fifth generation technology. Cooperation with Nokia also lays a strong foundation for enhancing the digital transformation process in Egypt in line with Egypt’s Vision 2030.”
For his part, Mr. Tommy Oito, President of Mobile Networks at Nokia, said: “This agreement comes as an important step towards strengthening our long-term partnership with Telecom Egypt, and will open the way for providing fifth generation services provided by our diverse product range, providing new and diverse opportunities for individuals and companies.” In Egypt to obtain a better mobile communication experience, Nokia continues its efforts to support innovation and value creation to develop basic digital technologies that enhance the digital transformation process, and aims to build a fully connected, intelligent world.”
