Middle East and Africa Private Mobile Network Trends, 2023

Middle East and Africa Private Mobile Network Trends, 2023

This IDC Market Perspective provides an overview of key private mobile network developments in the Middle East and Africa (MEA). The document looks closely at South Africa and some of the key countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. It also provides a summary of the key initiatives and strategies of telcos across MEA. "In the early 2000s, private telecommunications facilities — which were non-public fixed networks exempt from licenses and used for internal communication by campuses and gated communities — were all the rage. With the increased maturity of LTE and the rapid implementation and adoption of 5G in MEA, private mobile networks are becoming more relevant than ever, and ecosystem players are now accelerating initiatives in this field." — Senior Research Manager Tolga Yalcin, IDC Middle East, Türkiye, and Africa
