Digicel Samoa announced five 5G sites going live in the Apia CBD from Monday, kicking off its 5G rollout and offering customers the opportunity to connect to 5G.

Samoan customers with compatible 5G devices in and around the Levili Data Centre, FMFMII, NFP building, Tatte building and Frankie mall will be among the first in Samoa to experience 5G speeds.

Digicel Samoa made this announcement in a statement. 

“We’re building on the strong foundation of our 4G network to usher in a new era of connectivity with 5G,” said Anthony Seuseu, CEO of Digicel Samoa. “This launch isn’t just about faster speeds, it’s about delivering an exceptional experience for our customers in Samoa.” 

Customers with compatible 5G devices will be able to access faster speeds which will allow them to have better streaming, faster downloads, and enhanced gaming experiences.

“The launch of 5G opens a new chapter of possibility, and we’re committed to continuously improving our network so that our customers can benefit from this transformative technology,” Seuseu said. 

"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, you'll automatically switch to our 4G or 3G)," Digicel Samoa said in a statement.

"This launch is more than just a technological advancement, it’s a testament to Digicel Samoa’s commitment to providing customers with a great mobile experience.?
