Nokia has strengthened its partnership with Next-Gen InfraCo (NGIC) by building a 5G mobile core network
NGIC will make use of the 5G network to offer wholesale services to mobile service providers in the country, enabling them to deliver 5G services to their subscribers.
The 5G Non-Standalone (NSA) Core will provide the security, resiliency and reliability that is needed to deliver 5G services in the West African country. The agreement includes Nokia’s Cloud Mobility Manager (CMM) and Cloud Mobile Gateway (CMG), in addition to the previously announced 4G and 5G Radio Access Network (RAN) AirScale base stations, and will be managed by Nokia’s MantaRay network management system. Nokia will also provide its end-to-end service suite for the full scope of the deal.
“We chose Nokia because they are a trusted and proven partner in Africa that can deliver on our ambitions to introduce 5G services in Ghana,” remarked Harikirit Singh, executive director of NGIC Ghana. “As NGIC is a wholesale network provider to mobile operators in Ghana, Nokia’s 5G RAN and Core solution is a key part of our network evolution as it incorporates the flexibility, scalability, resilience and security that we need as the sole 5G network in the country. This will enable us to integrate more seamlessly with our clients’ networks to deliver 5G services to the people and businesses of Ghana.”
Expanding 5G
The Nokia and NGIC 5G open-access and cloud-based network will offer mobile operators in Ghana a shared, secure, environmentally sustainable and high-speed network that will enable the rapid expansion of 5G services with reduced capital expenditure. In the future, the network will enable newer capabilities, like enhanced mobile broadband, massive machine-type communication and ultra-reliable low-latency communication.
NGIC plans to launch its wholesale 4G and 5G Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) within 2024. Additionally, to keep the shared network at the forefront of technology, Nokia and NGIC will build a flagship 4G/5G Center of Excellence in Ghana that will serve as a test bed for newer technologies and use cases, and also demonstrate Nokia’s capabilities on network sharing, Cloud RAN and Open RAN.
Michael Tseytlin, chief technology officer of NGIC Ghana, surmised, “In partnership with Nokia, we will empower our customers to fully benefit from 5G in Ghana, with plans to extend this to other regions in Africa. NGIC will utilize Nokia's technology and products to deploy network infrastructure and related services, aiming to serve both enterprise and consumer markets. This initiative will help bridge the digital divide and introduce new services in finance, healthcare and education to enable Ghana's transition to the digital economy.”

Kaspersky study reveals AI's expanding role in society, from work and education to personal life, highlighting both opportunities and risks. (Image source: Adobe Stock)
According to a new survey by Kaspersky, titled ‘Excitement, Superstition and great Insecurity – How global Consumers engage with the Digital World,’ AI is increasingly becoming integrated into society
The study indicates that AI is now playing more roles in various fields where it can be effective and trusted by humans.
Statistics from Similarweb highlight that ChatGPT, a leading chatbot, received 153 million visits in its first month following its November 2022 launch, and visits peaked at 2 billion in April 2024. In response to the rapid growth of AI, Kaspersky's comprehensive study examines current confidence levels in AI, exploring its use in management roles and in making important life decisions.
The survey found that many respondents view AI as a team member and even a manager, with 34% globally believing AI could be a fairer boss than a human due to its impartiality. This belief is even stronger in the Middle East, Turkiye, and Africa (META) region, with 40% agreement, and 42% in South Africa.
In education, 47% of global respondents, 60% in the META region, and 68% in South Africa anticipate children learning through virtual experiences and Metaverses in the near future.
Half of the respondents globally (50%), 53% in the META region, and 64% in South Africa acknowledge that AI is now an integral part of their lives. Additionally, 43% globally, 46% in the META region, and 52% in South Africa have a positive outlook on AI’s potential to create opportunities and improve the future. Furthermore, a significant number of respondents believe AI has creative capabilities, with 62% globally, 59% in the META region, and 53% in South Africa viewing AI as a credible creator of artistic works.
AI is also seen as a valuable companion and everyday assistant, with 57% of respondents globally, 67% in the META region, and 60% in South Africa expressing a desire to use AI to enhance daily efficiency.
Globally, 48% of survey participants, 60% in the META region, and 56% in South Africa are willing to use AI chatbots for online conversations. Additionally, 31% globally, 38% in the META region, and 33% in South Africa would use AI to find a partner on dating apps. A notable proportion believes that AI could significantly impact human relationships, with 48% globally, 58% in the META region, and 63% in South Africa anticipating changes if virtual characters begin to replace real-life partners.
Vladislav Tushkanov, machine learning technology research group manager at Kaspersky, commented, “We are witnessing the growing adoption of AI as a valuable tool, assisting people in diverse areas. Beyond traditional applications, such as processing and analysing data, AI is being entrusted with more intriguing personal roles, including romance, education, and work. As AI technologies continue to evolve, their potential to drive innovation and improve human experiences becomes even more profound. However, this advancement also brings unexpected risks and sophisticated threats, ranging from overreliance — putting too much trust in AI advice — to AI-generated phishing, deepfakes, and identity theft. These are the challenges that we need to address across multiple levels.”
