en.Wedoany.com Reported - Vodafone has taken stock of its network expansion over the past twelve months, benefiting both mobile communications and fixed network users. The Düsseldorf-based telecommunications group stated that it has freed approximately 715 square kilometers from signal dead zones and covered this area for the first time via its mobile communications network.
"This is almost equivalent to the area of the city of Hamburg, or about 100,000 football fields," Vodafone said. By activating around 900 new mobile communications base stations, the telecom company's technicians installed and put them into operation in remote and rural areas, closing coverage gaps.
Additionally, Vodafone upgraded existing base stations, with approximately 10,000 other sites having 5G technology additionally enabled, providing users with higher bandwidth for mobile internet usage.
On the fixed network side, Vodafone is committed to providing high-quality connections to more users. Over the past twelve months, a total of 2,438 modernization measures were carried out on the cable network, including 2,168 segmentations and 270 Fiber Deep measures, thereby increasing capacity for individual users. At the beginning of 2026, upstream bandwidth was also increased by 50%.
Vodafone, together with OXG, accelerated fiber expansion, with approximately 600,000 homes passed now having fiber connections available. Vodafone is also improving the availability of fiber connections through cooperation with competitors, recently announcing a partnership with Germany's Giganetz (Deutsche Giganetz).
Vodafone stated that it will invest over 1 billion euros in further network expansion this year, more than last year. The company emphasized that the goal is to achieve more 5G and fewer signal dead zones in mobile communications networks, more fiber, and stronger gigabit internet capabilities.
