Egypt’s National Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (NTRA) will officially launch 5G mobile services in the country on Wednesday, 4 June 2025.

Four mobile network operators, Vodafone Egypt, Orange Egypt, e& Egypt, and Telecom Egypt, are set to offer the service to their customers after investing $2.7 billion in 5G spectrum and licenses since 2019.

Prime Minister Mustafa Madbouly and a host of ministers are expected at the launch event held in the Pyramids area.  

5G networks bring high-speed capabilities to telecom users, fostering innovation and development across various applications.

They also enable the control of numerous devices simultaneously, a pivotal capability for revolutionary applications in smart cities, healthcare services, and other advanced applications.

Last October, Minister of Communications and Information Technology Amr Talaat stressed that 5G technology will transform the national economy, boosting ongoing digital transformation and improving its ranking in international indicators in the communications and information technology sector.
