Deutsche Bahn to Implement Continuous 5G on Hamburg-Berlin Route

The project aims to eliminate connectivity gaps by 2026 through a collaboration between the government, Deutsche Bahn, and major telecom providers.

Deutsche Bahn, in partnership with the German government and telecom companies, plans to provide uninterrupted 5G service on the Hamburg-Berlin train route.
The 278-kilometer route, one of Germany's busiest with up to 230 trains daily, is notorious for poor mobile connectivity.
The initiative includes upgrading infrastructure during scheduled track renovations between August 2025 and April 2026.
New mobile-friendly windows will be installed in older trains to improve signal reception, complementing the 5G rollout.
Telecom providers will share infrastructure along the route to ensure high-speed data access for all passengers.
