Energy Efficiency for 5G and Beyond 5G: Potential,
This paper presents an exhaustive review of power-saving research conducted for 5G and beyond 5G networks in recent years,
An enabling policy environment is essential for the success of 5G in Africa. Accordingly, governments and regulators need to foster a pro-investment and pro-innovation environment to support cost-efective network rollout and the development of innovative use cases to stimulate demand.
In South Africa, for example, MTN is building private 5G networks for 14 companies in the mining and ports sectors. Most stakeholders in the 5G Africa Survey envisage demand for private 5G networks in their market, with mining, ports, oil and gas, education and agriculture among the prospective sectors.
South Africa has also experienced steady growth in 5G FWA connections as new operators came to market with 5G FWA oferings. Rain launched its 5G FWA service in 16 towns in 2021 and has since extended this to other parts of the country. Meanwhile, Telkom SA launched a 5G FWA service in Johannesburg, deploying 123 5G base stations.
In Africa, 5G will mostly be initially deployed using existing sites, meaning that operators may need to densify their networks to provide ample capacity in trafic hotspots in the future.
