The advent of WiFi6E technology in Egypt is a major breakthrough in the telecommunications sector. Indeed, the National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) recently launched this technology in the Egyptian market, underlining its commitment to meeting the growing needs of Internet and Wi-Fi users in the country.
The announcement of this innovation took place as part of the opening activities of the Cairo ICT 2024 event, marking a new era for Internet services in Egypt. WiFi6E promises to revolutionize the quality of services by offering higher speeds, reduced response times, and increased efficiency in the use of wireless networks. This technological advancement will also allow for a greater number of users to be accommodated on internal networks.
In parallel, the NTRA has introduced several new services and licenses to the Egyptian market, including fifth-generation mobile phone services, issuance of call center licenses, combating unwanted promotional calls, Internet of Things services, data center and cloud computing services, targeting investments estimated at around $5 billion over the next few years.
As part of its efforts to improve the quality of services, increase the efficiency of measurement systems, monitor the frequency spectrum, and expand the deployment of mobile stations, the authority aims to create a new mechanism of financial penalties for quality violations. These penalties are intended to incentivize mobile service companies to increase their investments in infrastructure, for the direct benefit of citizens.
In short, the introduction of WiFi6E in Egypt represents a significant step forward in the telecommunications sector, paving the way for significant improvements in terms of connectivity and user experience. This initiative by the NTRA demonstrates its desire to support the technological development of the country and to meet the growing expectations of consumers in terms of Internet and Wi-Fi services.
