The Fifth Generation (5G) network technology is hitting the mainstream fast. A dozen more have had 5G mobile technology deployed in part. With support from mobile operators like Huawei, ZTE and Ericsson, the initial demos proved successful. In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, commercial 5G deployments are happening faster and 5G subscriptions exceeded one million at the end of 2020. Nigeria expects to start auctioning spectrum for 5G network in the fourth quarter of this year, going by NCC projection.
