Swedish telecoms firm, Ericsson, held discussions with Ghana’s National Communications Authority (NCA) in Accra as tit aims to explores deeper involvement in the country’s digital infrastructure plans, including 5G deployment and managed service regulation.
The meeting, held at the NCA Tower, comes as the regulator prepares to open public consultations on a proposed Managed Services Licence framework.
Acting Director General of the NCA, Rev. Ing. Edmund Y. Fianko said the process aims to improve regulatory clarity and foster stakeholder engagement.
“We want to promote inclusivity and ensure industry stability,” Fianko said, noting Ericsson’s position as a key player in the sector.
Majda Lahlou Kassi, Vice President and Head of Customer Unit for West and Southern Africa at Ericsson, said the company is committed to supporting Ghana’s telecom ambitions, including efforts to expand digital skills training through initiatives like the Ministry of Communications’ “One Million Coders” program.
“5G is not just about faster internet, it’s a platform for entirely new use cases that have not yet entered the market,” Kassi said. “We are eager to support Ghana’s journey in deploying 5G in a way that balances innovation, stability, and local interest.”
