Sierra Leone and Malawi announce digital development deals with Chinese vendors

Research from Finnish vendor Nokia predicts that one in four mobile subscriptions in the Middle East and Africa will be connected via 5G within the next five years.

Mikko Lavanti, Nokia’s Senior Vice President for the Middle East and Africa, sees significant growth potential for operators in Africa as 5G-powered Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) gains momentum across the continent.

Nokia announced another deal in Vietnam, this time with Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) to supply equipment for the operator’s 5G rollout.
