Since German telecommunications operators secured 5G spectrum licenses in June 2019, they started an aggressive commercial strategy to launch 5G services in the country’s main urban areas and also announced even more ambitious goals for 2020.
The most active telco in terms of 5G deployments was Deutsche Telekom, which expects to end 2019 with a total of 450 5G base stations across the country, according to recent press reports.
By the end of 2020, the number of 5G sites is expected to climb to nearly 1,500. During 2020, Deutsche Telekom said it aims to provide 5G technology in the country’s 16 state capital cities.
