The Communications and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA) in Kuwait has announced the launch of new frequencies to support the rollout of advanced fifth-generation (5GA) technology. This cutting-edge development aims to elevate Kuwait’s leadership in adopting modern telecommunications technologies, with the discontinuation of third-generation services by June 2025 to bolster 4G and 5G networks.
Acting Chairman of CITRA, Abdullah Al-Ajmi, highlighted that the new 5GA technology will significantly enhance the user experience by increasing the capacity of mobile networks. This upgrade will enable the adoption of modern applications related to the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, virtual and augmented reality, 3D video, and cloud services. These advancements will also cater to the needs of smart cities and facilitate ultra-high-speed data transfer, reaching up to 10 gigabits per second, benefiting government, industrial, commercial sectors, and individuals alike.
The public can experience this advanced technology during a three-day trial at the Burj Al-Hamra Mall, opposite Gate No. 5.
