 Vodafone Albania Takes a Bold Step into the Future with 5G

Vodafone Albania has marked a significant milestone in its journey towards digital innovation by launching its new 5G network. The company secured the 5G spectrum in the 3400-3800 MHz frequency bands during a recent auction hosted by the Electronic and Postal Communications Authority (AKEP). This addition strengthens Vodafone’s network capabilities, ensuring faster and more responsive connectivity for its customers. With the new spectrum license valid until 2039, this development is set to unlock a host of possibilities for future technologies and applications.

Real 5G Experience: Revolutionizing Connectivity

Vodafone Albania was the first to introduce the "real 5G experience" in the country, achieving a groundbreaking feat five years ago. The new spectrum in the 3400-3800 MHz range will now enable Vodafone to harness the full potential of high-speed 5G connectivity. This move will not only enhance mobile network performance but also open the door to futuristic innovations, such as remote-controlled robotics, which will rely on 5G’s low latency and high-speed data capabilities.

Marking a significant leap forward, the introduction of this spectrum will address the evolving needs of Vodafone’s customer base, both current and future. The network upgrade will ensure that customers in Albania have access to faster, more reliable mobile services, positioning the company as a leader in digital transformation and innovation within the region.

Expansion and Accessibility: The Future of 5G in Albania

The 5G experience will initially be rolled out in the major cities of Tirana and Durres, with plans to expand to additional cities by 2025. This phased rollout will make 5G accessible to more customers as the technology continues to evolve. Vodafone Albania has already set the stage for smartphones compatible with 5G to connect to the network, with future updates expected for both iOS and Android systems in the country. As the 5G network grows, more users will benefit from the advanced capabilities of the new technology.

“We are pleased with the result of the auction,” said Mr. Balázs Révész, CEO of Vodafone Albania. “Providing additional spectrum will not only improve our mobile services and 5G initiatives but also allow us to continue driving digital innovation and transformation. This achievement represents a crucial step towards becoming the digital accelerator for Albania, promoting progress and opportunities for citizens, businesses, and the public sector alike.”
