Last week, I had the opportunity to present at the GSMA Middle East and North Africa Policy Group meeting in Cairo. The MENA region’s diversity was on full display: while some networks are leading the way in 5G deployment, others are just beginning their 5G journey. What stood out is how data traffic per connection in MENA has now surpassed the global average, a strong signal of the region’s accelerating digital demand. We also discussed the growing role of satellite connectivity, especially for reaching remote and underserved communities. Thanks to all participants for the valuable discussions and Vodafone Egypt for their partnership. #GSMA #MENA #5G #Connectivity #DigitalInclusion #Policy #Satellite #Telecom

As of end of 2024, global 5G connections surpassed 2 billion, a figure set to more than double to 5.7 billion by 2030. This presents a pivotal opportunity for operators to align their monetisation strategies with evolving consumer expectations. But tapping into this momentum requires more than just network expansion. Download this report to explore in-depth insights on consumer #5G behaviour especially as it relates to 5G monetisation opportunities, supported by exclusive findings from our proprietary survey and three operator case studies👉 https://lnkd.in/epPZz9-m #5GMonetisation Anshu Goel

743,872 mobile sites across Europe. It’s not just a number - it’s a signal of the scale, complexity, and energy demand behind global connectivity. At GSMA Intelligence, we’re spotlighting a critical challenge: ✅ 80% of operators’ energy use comes from the RAN ✅ About two thirds of energy comes from regular traditional grid, with only about 30% coming from renewables ✅ Only 3% of sites are powered by on-site renewables These stats make one thing clear: sustainability in telecoms requires partnership. Telcos and towercos must work together to rethink infrastructure, drive efficiency, and accelerate the transition to greener networks.
