In an effort to meet the growing demand for mobile data and deliver high-quality connectivity, Deutsche Telekom has announced plans to significantly expand and upgrade its mobile network in the Rheinisch-Bergisch District over the next three years.
Key points of their strategy include:
- 5G Rollout: Accelerating the deployment of 5G technology to improve coverage, capacity, and speeds for both urban and rural areas within the district.
- Network Densification: Increasing the number of cell sites and upgrading existing towers with modern equipment to enhance network reliability and reduce congestion, especially in high-traffic zones.
- Fiber Backhaul Expansion: Upgrading the backhaul infrastructure by installing more fiber-optic connections, ensuring that mobile sites have the necessary high-speed links to handle growing data demands.
- Indoor Coverage Improvements: Investing in solutions like small cells and repeaters to boost indoor mobile signal strength in key public and commercial buildings.
- Sustainability Efforts: Incorporating energy-efficient technologies and renewable energy sources into their network sites as part of their broader environmental commitment.
These efforts are designed to support the increasing demand for mobile data and deliver high-quality connectivity to residents and businesses in the Rheinisch-Bergisch District well into 2028.
Some of the specific actions already taken include:
- Mobile internet supply to 100% of households in the district has been increased.
- Two existing sites in Rheinisch-Bergisch District have been expanded with LTE technology.
- Modernization of existing mobile antennae has occurred in Bergisch Gladbach and Burscheid.
- One existing site in Rheinisch-Bergisch District has been expanded with 5G technology.
- Telekom has taken two new antenna sites into operation in the district, with the Rösrath site also serving the NRW-West railway line.
Moreover, Telekom has plans to expand 54 mobile sites with LTE or 5G technology, with the new mobile sites located in Leichlingen and Rösrath.
Deutsche Telekom's mobile sites in the district support the Advanced Mobile Location (AML) emergency technology and the Cell Broadcast warning system. Emergency calls and alerts are possible at all new and modernized mobile sites in the Rheinisch-Bergisch District.
Telekom relies on cooperation with municipalities or property owners to lease areas for new sites. Landlords who lease areas for new sites receive a long-term, location-appropriate rent. Interested parties can offer a site for a roof or mast location by contacting Deutsche Funkturm at www.dfmg.de/standortangebot.
