5G in African Cities: A Digital Transformation Perspective in Angola 2006

5G technology is poised to revolutionize urban infrastructure in Africa’s cities, particularly in Angola. A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis and qualitative case studies. Initial findings suggest that 5G can enhance urban connectivity by at least 30% within the first year of deployment, increasing internet speed from 10 Mbps to 20 Mbps in key city centers. The integration of 5G technology is crucial for future-proofing Angola’s cities and fostering a digital economy. Government investment in 5G infrastructure should be prioritised alongside public-private partnerships. 5G, Digital Transformation, Urban Connectivity, Angola Model estimation used $\hat{\theta}=argmin_{\theta}\sum_i\ell(y_i,f_\theta(x_i))+\lambda\lVert\theta\rVert_2^2$, with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
