Last month Liquid Telecom<\/a> said it would launch the first fifth generation (5G<\/a>) wholesale roaming service in South Africa in early 2020, using its share of the 3.5 GHz spectrum and allowing mobile network operators to have open access to the new network.
\"Having been the first network to commercially launch 5G in Africa through Vodacom<\/a> Lesotho, we expect to be able to launch 5G services in South Africa this year,\" Joosub said in a statement.
\"This is possible thanks to a recent roaming agreement with Liquid Telecom, as 5G spectrum is largely unassigned in South Africa,\" he added.
Although data-only mobile operator Rain launched the first commercial fixed-wireless 5G network in parts of Johannesburg and Tshwane in 2019, Vodacom<\/a> will be the first incumbent operator to offer commercial mobile 5G services across the country.
Both Vodacom, majority owned by Britain's Vodafone, and rival MTN have been running pilots of the super-fast next-generation technology using spectrum from the regulator that they are not yet permitted to commercialise.
Mobile operators have complained about delayed spectrum allocation, which is needed to roll out 5G.
South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa told an investment conference in November that his government had started the process of releasing spectrum and that a policy framework had been published.
Joosub also said that Vodacom's 4G capacity in South Africa would expand after it agreed a revised roaming deal with Rain in an environment \"where delays in assigning available spectrum will constrain capacity for all networks\".

“在第一网络在非洲通过商业发射5克Vodacom莱索托,我们期望能够发射5 g服务今年在南非,“Joosub在一份声明中说。
“这是可能由于最近与液体电信漫游协议,5 g频谱在很大程度上是在南非未赋值的,”他补充道。
雨虽然数据移动运营商推出了第一个商业固定无线5 g网络约翰内斯堡和部分地区的2019年内,Vodacom将成为第一个现任运营商提供商业移动5 g服务全国。
Vodacom,多数属于英国的沃达丰(Vodafone)和竞争对手MTN已经运行的飞行员的超高速下一代技术使用频谱监管机构尚未允许商业化。

Joosub还表示,在南非Vodacom的4 g容量将扩大后,同意修改后的漫游处理雨水的环境中“延迟分配可用频谱将限制所有网络”的能力。
