Vodafone Germany has announced that it has switched on a further 2,200 5G antennas at around 800 locations across Germany. The expansion work was carried out in major cities including Duisburg and Essen, smaller cities such as Goettingen and Glauchau, and rural areas including Ohmberg and Wahlheim.
