Vodafone Egypt signs 5G infrastructure deals with Telecom Egypt

There’s been yet another major agreement between Indian operator Bharti Airtel and technology giant Ericsson, this time involving fixed wireless access (FWA).

India’s Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has reportedly awarded 5G spectrum worth INR610 billion to state-owned telco Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) to ready the telco for its planned launch of 5G services sometime this year.

The ability of 5G to enable wide-scale industrial applications has long been billed as a major differentiator for the standard compared to 4G.
