Digicel Tonga launches 5G in the Kingdom

Nuku’alofa, Tonga – Friday, 29 November 2024

Digicel Tonga has launched six 5G sites today, marking a significant leap forward for Tonga’s digital landscape, empowering individuals and businesses alike. 

Digicel Tonga customers with compatible 5G devices in Kolomotu’a, Fanga, Pili, Kolofo’ou, Ma’ufanga and Ma’ufanga Wharf will be among the first in Tonga to experience the power of 5G.

Digicel Tonga CEO, Daniel Horan, said; “We’re excited to bring 5G in Tonga, unlocking a world of possibilities. We’re building on the strong foundation of our 4G network to usher in a new era of connectivity with 5G. This launch isn’t just about faster speeds, it’s about delivering an exceptional experience for our customers in Tonga. From super-fast downloads to immersive gaming, get ready to experience the next generation of mobile technology.”

Digicel Tonga customers with compatible 5G devices in Kolomotu’a, Fanga, Pili, Kolofo’ou, Ma’ufanga and Ma’ufanga Wharf will be able to access faster speeds than their current 4G speeds, enabling them to enjoy superior streaming, fast downloads and an enhanced gaming experience.

Initial test results at the new 5G sites boasted average speeds of a staggering 550-600Mbps, with the full potential reaching up to 1Gbps. Speeds may vary due to factors such as location, distance from the mobile tower, local conditions, concurrent users, hardware and software configuration and download/upload destination. In non-5G coverage areas, customers will automatically switch to our 4G or 3G.

Join Digicel Tonga on the journey to a brighter, faster future powered by 5G. A variety of affordable 5G smartphones and modems are now available in our stores starting from $200.
