Mr John Walubengo and Mr Barrack Otieno spend some time establishing Kenya’s preparedness to deploy fifth-generation wireless networks (5G).

The study reviews the historical progression of mobile networks through to the current 5G mobile technologies. It then highlights the technical properties and use-cases that 5G technologies.

In addition, they reviewed the global 5G state of play and contrasts that with a situational analysis for Kenya. It finds that whereas the Kenyan legal, policy, and regulatory frameworks are quite advanced, there is no specific, national 5G Strategy in place.
