Safaricom has partnered with Huawei to open three 5 G-experiencing centers in Nairobi.

The three locations, Safaricom’s Village Market, The Hub, and Buruburu Stores, will highlight the ultrafast broadband and cutting-edge products that come with 5G connectivity.

Customers can check out virtual reality gaming areas, smart home and business capability displays, and speed testing booths at the 5G experience centers.

“We are excited to unveil these experience centres, which will enable Kenyans to discover the power of 5G firsthand. As a digital lifestyle enabler, we are further enhancing Kenya’s best internet network, and empowering our customers to start exploring the limitless possibilities that 5G provides,” said Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom PLC.

About 200 5G stations have since been launched by the service provider in 11 counties, including Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Kisii, Kakamega, Nakuru, Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado, Vihiga, and Siaya.

With normal speeds of 400Mbps to 700Mbps and ultrafast rates of up to 2Gbps, the 5G network is accessible to over 300,000 Safaricom users who already own 5G handsets.

“As a long-time partner with Safaricom, we are delighted to collaborate on these experience centres. They show how 5G can be transformative in connecting homes and small businesses to drive economic growth and social development, unlocking the digital economy,” said Sheng Kaifu, Deputy CEO, Huawei Kenya.

Safaricom noted they have consistently invested in its network over the years, with its 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G in aggregate covering over 99% of Kenya’s population, while its fibre network has passed more than 450,000 homes and businesses.

The telco had developed various proposals regarding how customers can use the service, which is said to be ten times quicker than 4G. The 5G network is slightly similar to home fibre only that home fibre serves those who are already in fibre areas.
