A data transfer speed of up to 10 GB, surpassing the fiber cabling network that exists in our country, improving latency in the transmission of this data, thus improving home automation and the entire field of automatic driving… Advantages that will come with the landing in our country of the 5G band that, as announced today by the British operator Vodafona, will take place this summer. An event that will come a year after Vodafone started the first tests with the evolution of the 4G band.
The 5G will arrive this summer from the hand of Vodafone to the main Spanish cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Bilbao, Malaga and Seville. For now, download speeds of up to 2.2 Gbps will be offered. The exact dates in terms of rates to hire as well as the first compatible devices, among which will be the new Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, will be announced sooner rather than later, with no relevant data yet. What does seem to have been confirmed is that the new 5G rates will not increase the cost of those we already have, but we would need a terminal that is compatible with the new bands.
This deployment will be done in collusion with Huawei in the manufacture of antennas compatible with 5G and will be done jointly with the operator Orange. On July 3, 5G will arrive in England, making this country the European starting gun, in the cities of Cardiff, Liverpool, London, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow.
Among the terminals that will make an appearance soon and that will be compatible with the 5G bands are the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 5G and Huawei Mate 20X 5G. So if you are interested in being one of the first to test the new 5G band in our country, you will have to pay a significant amount of money, since none of these terminals will be too affordable. The rest will wait until, like 4G, it is massive and democratic for all.
