Cell C launches 5G
- Cell C's 5G network is live and available to customers with 5G handsets.
- CEO Jorge Mendes confirmed the network's existence in response to a direct question during an interview.
- Cell C claims to have the widest 5G coverage in South Africa through roaming agreements with Vodacom and MTN.
Cell C's strategic approach to launching its 5G network without a formal event reflects a cautious yet innovative business model. By focusing on unique offerings rather than merely promoting coverage, Cell C could differentiate itself in a competitive market. However, the delay in launching commercial propositions may hinder immediate customer engagement.
