Emtel Mauritius 5G Mobile Network Launch

With the 5G Mobile Network launch, Emtel Mauritius customers can now experience high-speed download speeds of up to 1.87 Gbps. Emtel targets a population coverage of 60 percent initially, with plans to achieve full coverage by 2024.

The company had previously launched the 5G Broadband Fixed Wireless Access (BFWA) service named ‘Airbox 5G’ in Mauritius in August 2022. The service is available in both prepaid and postpaid options, provided via a 5G Airbox router, which is a plug-and-play device and can also function as an outdoor unit for coverage enhancement when needed.

During a press event, Emtel expressed pride in having the widest 5G network in Mauritius. “With the widest 5G network in Mauritius and most probably the widest 5G network in Africa, considering the population and the area that we cover, we are proud to be the first company to launch 5G across such a significant portion of the island,” said Emtel.
