Airtel plans to introduce its super-fast fifth generation (5G) mobile broadband network next month as it takes on its dominant rival Safaricom which launched the service in October last year.

Bharti Airtel (Airtel Kenya’s holding firm) Chairman Sunil Mittal told a press briefing in Nairobi Wednesday that the company is at an advanced stage of 5G rollout and that the launch will happen sometime early next month.
