Vodafone made a very important decision that has an impact for millions of Romanians from all over the country, and we are talking about a measure that the operator has not spoken about for some time already. In 2019, Vodafone launched the first 5G network in Romania, marking a real first at that time, but beyond that point nothing serious happened in relation to its evolution, so that not many details are still known. -dream of his plans.
Vodafone it doesn't seem to have expanded its 5G network since 2019 and until now, on its website with information about it, only the first 3 locations where it was available are valid, and that's about it. Mamaia, Bucharest, Cluj-Napoca are the locations where Vodafone's 5G network was launched, but nothing has changed since then, and in the last two there is not total coverage, but partial coverage, hard to find in the coverage map on which the operator has now.
Vodafone: IMPORTANT Decision Taken for MILLIONS of Romanians
Vodafone it was far behind those from Orange, which have total coverage for Bucharest, and it is not known how big the difference is vis-a-vis DIGI Mobil, which does not have a large coverage in the capital anyway. Vodafone is still behind both operators in terms of coverage at the national level, where DIGI Mobil and Orange are far ahead of the company, which not many thought would be valid in relation to the company's situation.
Vodafone the 5G revolution in Romania started promisingly, but the lack of an auction for 5G frequencies for our country kind of forced the stop of investments, something that is perfectly normal. If we think of the hundreds of millions of euros that Vodafone, or other operators, should invest to build their 5G networks, it is easy to understand their reluctance to make these investments without having certainty about what they will receive for the money spent.
Vodafone will come with more information as soon as there are clear data on how the situation will evolve with regard to the 5G auction, but for now all the operators are waiting for it with interest.
