Vodafone said that its 5G Standalone network is currently available to nearly 20 million people across Germany
Vodafone Germany said its 5G network is already providing coverage to 60 million people across the country.
In a release, the telco said it has already deployed a total of 41,000 5G base stations nationwide.
In October alone, more than 50 new 5G Standalone (SA) base stations were activated, reaching a total of 2,750 5G SA stations at a national level.
The telco also noted that its 5G Standalone network is currently available to nearly 20 million people across Germany. Vodafone previously said that 5G SA technology will reach nationwide coverage by 2025.
Last year, Vodafone Germany launched its 5G Standalone (SA) network in partnership with Ericsson, Nokia, Qualcomm and OPPO.
For the 5G expansion, Vodafone is relying on frequencies in the 3.6 GHz, 1.8 GHz and 700 MHz bands in large urban areas, residential areas and suburbs, and rural areas across Germany.
