Vodacom's Innovative Triple-Band Technology Accelerates Digital Egypt's 4G/5G Ambitions. Vodacom has successfully deployed the world’s first triple-band mobile radio unit in Egypt, combining the 1800MHz, 2100 FDD, and 2600 TDD frequency bands into a single unit. This innovation is expected to lower the costs and implementation time for Vodacom's 4G/5G network rollout, reduce energy consumption, and minimize tower load. Vodacom, which holds a 55% stake in Vodafone Egypt, invested R4.6 billion (about $244.3 million) in the network last year. Vodafone Egypt is the largest mobile network operator in the country with a 43% market share and 48.3 million customers. This deployment supports Egypt's Digital Egypt strategy. #Vodacom #VodafoneEgypt #DigitalEgypt #4G #5G #TelecomInnovation

A recent report from U.K. media and telecom regulator Ofcom served to highlight that the market’s four mobile network operators (MNO) still have their work cut out if they are to meet ambitious government targets for the widespread adoption of standalone (SA) 5G coverage by 2030. Indeed, Ofcom’s latest Connected Nations report published in December 2023 indicated that while 5G non-standalone population coverage is now at a relatively high level of 93% of U.K. premises (from at least one MNO), landmass coverage is much lower, ranging from 11% to 38% at the high confidence level of availability, and 6% to 26% at the very high confidence level. 5G SA deployments, meanwhile, are still at a relatively early stage, with only Vodafone UK and Virgin Media O2 having announced commercial launches.

#TechNews: BT Group and Sky beaten as UK's 'best' broadband confirmed - has your provider won or lost? If you want the 'best' broadband in Britain, it seems Virgin Media is a top choice. The Internet Service provider (ISP) has just come out on top in the latest Opensignal tests. The independent insights firm says it analysed the real-world fixed broadband experience of our users across the U.K. and then separately across 12 of its regions. Virgin Media won across five national tests including being the best for Consistent Quality, Download Speeds, Upload Speed, Video and Reliability. Vodafone also did well coming second in 4 out of 5 of these tests. "Virgin Media wins all five of the overall experience awards outright," Opensignal confirmed. At the other end of the table was Three with this provider getting the lowest score for Consistent Quality, Upload Speed and Reliability. EE came bottom of the pile for Download Speed. #news #internet #ISP #WiFi #download #UK #InternetProvider #Telecoms #5G #4G

While some European mobile markets like the UK are entering market repair (going from 4 to 3 MNOs) others are heading in the other direction. Romanian operator DIGI is on a rampage of disruption around Europe and its latest launch is Belgium where it is using the Proximus Group network while it works on building its own. It must have a very good deal with the Belgian incumbent (previously known as Belgacom) because it is offering unlimited calls and texts plus 15GB of data for €5 per month. Orange has already cut its prices to match. Telenet and Proximus will presumably have to follow suit. Great for consumers and maybe good for Digi's fixed broadband partner, Citymesh, but not so great for the MNOs.

No fewer than 261 telecoms operators in 101 countries including Nigeria have launched commercial 5G mobile services by January 2024, while more than 90 telcos from 64 markets have also committed to launching 5G in the coming years. This was revealed by the GSMA Intelligence ‘Mobile Economy 2024’ report. It is estimated that 143 legacy networks (2G and 3G) are scheduled to be retired between the end of 2023 and 2030, with around 5% of these planned by the end of 2024. Data released by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC) indicated that 5G subscriptions in the country increased to 2.3 million in December 2023.
