NextGen Infraco, the company awarded the licensing contract to lead Ghana’s transition to the 5G spectrum, plays a key role in the country’s digital infrastructure upgrade. In June 2024, the Government of Ghana, in partnership with Ascend Digital, K-NET, Radisys, Nokia, and Tech Mahindra, and supported by mobile network operators including AirtelTigo-AT and Telecel, launched the Next-Gen InfraCo (NGIC). This initiative aims to provide affordable 5G mobile broadband services and drive the country’s digital transformation.
At the launch, the Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, highlighted the significance of the Next-Gen InfraCo, describing it as a groundbreaking partnership that would accelerate Ghana’s digital agenda.
