5G Usage Doubles in German Mobile Networks
The adoption of 5G technology in Germany has seen significant growth, with major network operators reporting increased data traffic.
- Vodafone reports that 20% of its network data traffic in October was transmitted via 5G, doubling from the previous year.
- Telefónica Deutschland (O2) also notes a significant increase in 5G usage, though no specific figures were provided.
- 5G has become integral to digital connectivity, especially in major German cities, enhancing user experience with faster and more stable connections.
- Despite the growth of 5G, 4G remains the dominant mobile standard due to the widespread use of older phones that do not support 5G.
- Network operators expect the 5G share to continue rising as more consumers acquire compatible smartphones and 5G becomes a standard feature in mobile plans.
