Contribution to improving the conditions of access to very high speed 5G internet for online education in developing African countries

Abstract

ICT are experiencing a boom in the evolution of mobile networks. Today the advent of 5G offers major benefits in all sectors such as education, health, agriculture etc. 5G allows very high speed access, very low latency but also good bandwidth. This will result in faster access with a much smoother data processing turnaround time for the services offered. Developing African countries must prepare to face these opportunities despite their meager resources. In this article we use the robustness of free software like open5gs to set up a latest generation mobile network with an implementation of innovative services. This shows the relevance of having a reliable new generation mobile network infrastructure at a lower cost. This article is based on a mobile network infrastructure whose radio and network access parts are software because today it is possible to emulate mobile networks with computing, in particular NFVs. It will allow the developing country of Africa to understand the importance of having its own network, especially in the context of the covid-19 pandemic where all activities have become virtual. In this context, activities such as distance learning require internet access and good bandwidth.
