<span class="gmail-break-words"><span><span dir="ltr">KICTANet has published the 5G Policy Brief for Kenya.<br>The
objective of this study is to establish 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 have under the three categories, namely,
the enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMMB), the massive Machine Type
Communications (mMTC), and the ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications
(uRLLC).<br>The study reviews 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. This disadvantages
Kenya’s ability to attract 5G investments while hampering its ability to
stake a claim within the new digital value chain commonly known as the
Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR).<br>The study which can be accessed via the following <a href="https://www.kictanet.or.ke/mdocs-posts/5g-policy-brief-which-way-for-kenya/">link</a> has established that the country is still not ready to effectively deploy 5G technologies </span></span></span>
