    AN EVALUATION OF 5G WIRELESS NETWORK DEPLOYMENT IN TELECOMMUNICATION FIRMS: A CASE OF SAFARICOM
    (Gretsa University, 2025-10) KIRURI, EMMANUEL KINYANJUI
    Modern technology has become an indispensable aspect of most enterprises globally. For the past few decades, telecommunication firms, fintech companies, and other industries have relied heavily on advanced technology. Fast internet speed is the need of the hour, and every major telecommunication company is pushing to make it even faster. To keep up with the constantly changing world, we require more and more technology. The fifth-generation (5G) wireless technology has arrived, with the primary aim of increasing capacity, higher data throughput, lower latency, and quality service. Many studies have been conducted on the adoption and implementation of 5G wireless technology in different industries. For instance, researchers have explored the factors that affect adopting 5G technology in healthcare, agriculture, and other sectors. Few studies have examined Kenyan telecom firms' 5G wireless adoption. Telecommunication businesses in Kenya have yet to fully implement 5G wireless technology, thus variables that may affect its adoption must be examined. To leverage 5G's benefits, you must understand its problems and opportunities. This study examines Kenyan telecommunication firms' wireless technology adoption variables to close this gap. This study examines individual traits, technological and organizational factors, and cybersecurity issues that may affect Kenyan telecommunication companies' 5G wireless network adoption. Telecommunications companies select middle- to senior-management employees using stratified sampling. Questionnaires, descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis were used. The results showed that age, education, and experience favorably affect 5G wireless technology adoption. Perceived utility and ease of usage strongly influence 5G adoption. Top management support, culture, and training boost 5G adoption. Finally, cybersecurity worries hinder 5G adoption. Thus, Kenyan telecommunication companies should link developing technology with sufficient infrastructure to enable its adoption and educate and train their staff on the value of new technology to stay competitive in the dynamic and competitive market.
