EE to become UK’s first mobile operator to start 5G services

 

Britain’s biggest mobile operator EE is going to be the first company to launch 5G services in the country, beginning in six cities, including London.

At a press event in London, EE announced it’s set to flick the switch on 5G on May 30, cutting way ahead of Vodafone’s 5G launch date on July 3.

The networks will launch in six cities – London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham and Belfast, with plans to expand to more by the end of 2019 and even more in 2020.

EE, which is owned by BT, said it will have 1,500 5G sites by the end of 2019 and that 5G smartphones would be ready to order from Wednesday morning.

Its 5G smartphone range will include models by Samsung, Huawei, LG and OnePlus.
