Jordan experienced a significant 37% increase in 5G subscriptions during the third quarter of 2024, as reported by the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (TRC) in the 2024 5G Indicators Report. By mid-2024, mobile broadband users in the Kingdom reached around 8 million, with over 70,000 subscribing to 5G services by the end of the third quarter.
The expansion of 5G infrastructure also advanced, with over 230 operational towers across the country, improving connectivity in key regions. ICT specialist Lina Hani highlighted that 5G’s broader economic benefits would support the growth of tech companies, startups, and industrial automation, fostering an inclusive economic system.
Bayan Khaled, a computer engineer and AI developer, emphasized Jordan’s progress toward a digitally connected economy, noting that the growing 5G infrastructure would also generate job opportunities in telecommunications and related sectors. While the Kingdom has made significant strides, both experts agree there is still room for further development in 5G adoption.
