Authority allows 5G

IT was good news for technology investors in PNG yesterday when the National Information Communication Technology Authority (Nicta) announced that it is allowing telecommunication service providers to upgrade their services to 5G.
Nicta chief executive officer Charles Punaha said one of the main issues in the country’s telecommunication sector was that there was heavy use of 2G, 3G and 4G and extended network services.
“While we will provide for the deployment of the 5G services, we are also going to allow existing services that we have extensive coverage time to migrate from 2G, 3G to 4G and 5G enabled services,” he said.
