The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has come a long way in a
short while and is not relenting on its effort in bringing forth to the
table quality and improved voice and data services to the subscribers'
delight. The telecommunications industry in Nigeria has evolved
tremendously. If we look back at the days of NITEL where analog
communications was predominant with only a few hundred thousandth people
having access to telecommunications facilities, but today we are very proud to have a vibrant
digital communications system in place that offers millions of Nigerians access
telecommunications services. Gone are the days when telephoning was
meant strictly for the rich. Today, everyone has a right to communicate
and to be communicated to on phone.
Presently broadband
penetration in Nigeria is put at 40% and bookmakers say come 2018
Nigeria would witness up to 60% broadband penetration.
Telecommunications
experts say the future communications lies in data telecommunications.
As such, researches are continually on going in this regards to improve
the face of data communications. From the initial simple 2G networks,
data communications has evolved to a faster 3G technology and now to ever sophisticated 4G networks. Experts say the best is yet to come as
researches are already on going into the 5G technology which researchers
say would become a reality come 2020.
With a long list of
expectations when this technology finally kicks off, there is no doubt
that 5G networks would bring about a revolution in telecommunications
industry of the world. It would be the major driving force of the much
talk about about internet of things (IoTs) i.e objects possessing
network connectivity as well has humans. On the surface we have seen a
little of what internet of things (IoTs) can do with the invention and
demonstration of self driven cars powered solely by internet of things
(IoTs). Experts proclaim that even greater innovations and inventions
would rock this epoch when the 5G technology is finally actualized.
Bookmakers see internet of things (IoTs) as the next big thing that
would change the face of the earth.
The
pleasure is my whenever am permitted to share my surface, minute and faint
knowledge of ICT with the rest of the world.It also gladdens my heart whenever I share my thoughts, knowledge and experiences with others. Become a
