The collaboration aims to revolutionize the country’s telecom landscape by introducing the transformative power of 5G to cities including Alexandria, Aswan, Cairo, Giza, and Luxor. Nokia will provide its comprehensive AirScale portfolio to deliver an exceptional network experience to Telecom Egypt’s customers including faster data speeds, enhanced performance, and capacity.

5G technology will bring numerous benefits, including increased capacity for seamless connectivity in some of Egypt’s most densely populated areas. This will support a wide range of applications and services, resulting in faster downloads, smoother streaming, and improved network performance. This advancement will enable unprecedented levels of innovation and efficiency across various sectors, empowering organizations to thrive in today’s fast-paced digital landscape.

Earlier this year, Telecom Egypt secured the country’s first 5G license, which is valid for 15 years.

Mohamed Al Fowey, vice president, and chief technology officer at Telecom Egypt, said:

“This new agreement with Nokia further strengthens our strong partnership, reaffirms our commitment to providing cutting-edge digital services, and positions us at the forefront of the 5G revolution.
