TRC inks 5G deal with Zain, Umniah and Orange

Jordanian industry watchdog the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (TRC) has signed an agreement with mobile provider Zain which it says paves the way for the introduction of 5G services in Jordan. The agreement is the third of its kind, with Zain’s rival mobile providers Umniah and Orange Jordan having inked equivalents last month. Details of the agreement were not disclosed but Minister of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship Ahmed Hanandeh noted that the government is looking to facilitate the establishment of 5G infrastructure and to incentivise the introduction of 5G services.
