Vodacom Tanzania has announced the launch of 5G fixed wireless access (FWA) routers to enable homes and businesses to connect to the operator’s 5G network, which was officially launched in September.

‘Although 5G was launched in the country, it has not been accessible to many of our customers and businesses due to mobile device limitations in terms of capabilities to latch onto 5G, so today we are excited to launch our 5G routers which will enable allow our customers to enjoy 5G internet,’ commented Vodacom Tanzania’s Enterprise Business Unit Director, Arjun Dhillon, adding: ‘5G Home and Business Internet, powered by the only 5G network in the country, is ideal for anyone who wants ultra-fast connectivity to stream, game, or work flexibly.
