30 years of connect network test, 25 years of O₂ network and a very good network quality for customers: The O₂ mobile network once again receives the grade “very good “ in the 30th network test by the telco magazine connect.*

Fans used more mobile data than ever before at peak times during the game on November 5.

The two technologies enable network operators to set up even more flexible network architectures in which hardware and software are separated from each other and individual components are virtualized.

On the occasion of the anniversary, CEO Markus Haas appeals to use the full potential of mobile communications for a sustainable future for Germany.

Telecom provider O₂ Telefónica and network equipment supplier Ericsson are taking the next development step for advanced 5G networks: The companies have implemented the first Ericsson Cloud RAN solution in Europe's mobile network.

In the Wayra Innovation Hub - the start-up accelerator of O₂ Telefónica in Munich - the companies successfully implemented a practical use case with a so-called "data shower".

Deutsche Bahn (DB), network equipment supplier Ericsson, telecommunications provider O₂ Telefónica and cell tower operator Vantage Towers are working together to develop a solution that would establish an extensive 5G mobile communications infrastructure along train tracks in Germany.
