Morocco : Inwi announces 5G pre-commercial tests

Morocco : Inwi announces 5G pre-commercial tests
Monday, 01 April 2019 16:08

In Morocco, the mobile telephony operator Inwi announces that it will soon proceed to the commercial launch of the fifth generation mobile network (5G). Before this launch, clients can test this technology.

These tests will be carried out thanks to the collaboration between Huawei and Inwi. According to Eric Liu, Huawei’s vice-president for solution and marketing in North Africa, in the coming weeks, Huawei will deploy pre-commercial 5G base stations.

Let’s note that in August 2018, Inwi launched the 4.5G. It also changed its network architecture by installing fibre optics and new 5G compatible transmission solutions.

Thanks to this modernization which offers a modern and flexible infrastructure that will adapt to current and future needs, the 5G is now a reality with Inwi, the operator’s network planning director Fadoua Bettioui Laroussi says.
