Throughout a media day ahead of the public launching of IFA Berlin, the German operator declared its 5G system is currently operational from the cities.
A total of 129 antennas throughout the nation are now transmitting’real’ 5G using a bandwidth in excess of 1GB/s.
66 antennae clustered in Berlin’s Mitte district shape what Deutsche Telekom is calling”the biggest constant 5G coverage place in Germany”.
“We’re bringing 5G to city roads in accord with our clients’ needs,” explains Walter Goldenits, Chief Technology Officer in Telekom Deutschland GmbH.
“We are starting off where information use is large and are establishing constant coverage areas in those areas. After all, it is not only about getting 5G appear on screen — it is about experiencing the actual strengths of 5G in the first”
Coverage will now be patchy, using 5G service generally accessible remote spots around every single antenna. Deutsche Telekom claims to expand its policy in the first launch cities to serve larger regions.
Additional cities have been set to be inserted over the rest of 2019. Hamburg and Leipzig will be the subsequent two cities in Deutsche Telekom’s 5G rollout programs, using over 300 antennas place to be set up across Germany from the year’s end.
Deutsche Telekom has different priorities within its own five 5G launching cities to learn from its own rollout Before mass installation:

Bonn: Deutsche Telekom is analyzing 5G to get dual-use at Bonn. The attention will be on business-use during normal working hours and then change to prioritise leisure-use on weekends and evenings.
-
Darmstadt: More general 5G use is apparently the strategy for Darmstadt, together with coverage extending towards town center and university regions at the forthcoming 18 months.
