Vodafone initiates 5G+ operations in Erfurt, enhancing local infrastructure.
Vodafone Expands 5G Network in Erfurt, Germany
Vodafone, one of Germany's leading communications conglomerates, is driving infrastructure expansion in the city of Erfurt with the aim of providing gigabit connections to two-thirds of its residents by 2022.
The company has put a mobile radio station with the new 5G+ technology into operation in Erfurt, marking a significant step towards achieving this goal. Vodafone plans to upgrade five existing sites to 5G stations by installing 5G technology for the first time.
Since mid-2019, Vodafone has operated the first 5G network in Germany, reaching over 55 million people. By 2023, Vodafone aims to expand 5G to reach 60 million people. In Erfurt, 36 sites are already equipped with 5G technology, and the first 13 sites already have 5G+. By mid-2023, Vodafone plans to implement a total of thirteen more mobile construction projects in the city.
Two existing broadband stations will receive additional antennas to further increase capacities in their respective catchment areas. This expansion aims to close gaps and increase network capacity, addressing the growing mobile data traffic in cities, which has an annual growth rate of around 28 percent.
Vodafone's 4G network reaches over 99% of all households in Germany. The goal of Vodafone's expansion offensive is to further strengthen the existing mobile network and connect as much of the population as possible to the 5G and 5G+ networks by 2025.
5G is a mobile broadband technology that works similarly to the existing mobile generation LTE, but with even higher data transmission speeds. Vodafone's machine network (Narrowband IoT) covers almost 97% of Germany's surface area.
Vodafone is committed to operating sustainably and protecting the environment. The company aims to be climate-neutral by 2025 and emission-free by 2040. Vodafone respects and values all people, regardless of their ethnic origin, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, belief, culture, or religion.
