According to Drei Austria CTO Matthias Baldermann, this is the result of a holistic 5G strategy that makes most efficiency use of its spectrum holdings and network resources. “We decided to upgrade each and every single base station in our network to 5G,” he told RCR Wireless News. “We’re doing that with a very comprehensive rollout program we’ve set up. We utilized and installed at every single site powerful massive MIMO antennas.”
