Orange. The largest mobile operator in Romania also made the first announcement regarding the launch of the 5G network in our country, and it seems that it is much closer than many of you imagine. Yesterday an important event took place in Paris, during which the CEO of the Orange group announced a lot of important news, including information about the launch of 5G networks in Europe, Romania being part of the first wave.
Orange. According to the CEO of the group, Stephane Richard, Romania will have a 5G network from the operator in 2019, Bucharest being, most likely, one of the 17 cities where this technology will be launched by the operator. Orange intends to launch 5G networks in 17 cities in Romania, France, Poland, Spain, Belgium and Luxembourg, without saying which they will be, a year before the coverage is extended to a wider scale in the countries where the group is active.
Orange. OFFICIALLY, WHEN 5G LAUNCHES in Romania
Orange. Although it is possible that in Romania the 5G network will be launched in more than one city, I would not have high hopes for this, Bucharest being most likely the priority for the operator. Orange also canceled the tests in Cluj for the launch of the 5G network, presenting the benefits it brings, so it is not hard to believe that they could offer the technology there from the start, but I have no information about the plans launch.
Orange will next year roll out 5G technology in 17 major European cities across Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania and Spain as it prepares for a full-scale commercial launch in 2020. French cities confirmed for 5G trial action include Lille, Paris, Marseille and Nantes.
Orange. The 5G network in Romania will not be launched before the summer, and this is because in the spring the operator will organize meetings with various companies to present the benefits of using this technology. Also, companies will be the first to enjoy the opportunity to use 5G networks, and Orange customers will most likely have the opportunity to test the technology in stores, and that's about it, in the absence of compatible phones, which will only arrive by 2020.
