Vodafone 5G network live in 12 more UK locations

12th April 2022 By: Adam

Vodafone has switched on its 5G network in 12 further locations across the UK, giving consumers, businesses and their employees faster mobile data and more reliable mobile coverage.

The Vodafone 5G network is now available for residents up and down the country – from Watford to Wigan, South Lackenby to South Wales, and beyond. With its much higher download and upload speeds and superfast connection times, customers using Vodafone 5G can load web pages in the blink of the eye or stream movies without buffering.

Locations benefitting from Vodafone 5G now include:

  1. Coventry
  2. Dursley
  3. Golborne
  4. Keynsham
  5. Llantwit Major
  6. Lydney
  7. Redditch
  8. Rickmansworth
  9. South Lackenby
  10. Thornbury
  11. Watford
  12. Wigan

The activity is part of a Vodafone network modernisation programme to improve the 4G and 5G experience for all its customers. This programme will see Vodafone retiring its 3G network in 2023 and replacing coverage with strengthened 4G and 5G services, so customers across more parts of the country can access more reliable connectivity through the Vodafone network.

Meanwhile, 5G also opens the doors to smart wireless factories for British manufacturing businesses. By using private 5G networks, they can dramatically improve efficiency. In the future, the faster response times of 5G will potentially enable smart car parking, remote health services and even enable ambulances to communicate with community infrastructure, such as traffic lights. This means homes, businesses, transport links and healthcare will all be able to operate in a greener, safer and smarter way.
