German operator 1&1 is experiencing delays in the deployment of its 5G network, and it won’t be able to meet its deployment goals for this year, according to local press reports and a company release.
The operator had initially expected to deploy 1,000 5G antennas nationwide by the end of this year.
“This target is achievable in principle, but quite challenging for a new entrant,” the company said in a statement, adding that it now expects to meet that goal in the summer of 2023.
