Vodafone UK Deploys 5G Mobile Broadband to Aberdeen International Airport
Mobile operator Vodafone (VodafoneThree) has announced that they’ve deployed “dedicated” 5G and 4G mobile coverage to Aberdeen International Airport, which is one of Scotland’s busiest airports. But travellers will need to wait a “few months” more before the operator expands their fastest 5G Standalone (5GSA) technology to the same location.
The improvements follow the installation of a dedicated in-building 5G system by specialists Exchange Communications, which has previously conducted similar deployments at other busy locations, such as Southampton Airport in Southern England. The kit they deploy is usually multi-operator focused, thus Vodafone may not be the only mobile provider to benefit.
Andrea Donà, Chief Network Officer at VodafoneThree, said: “Our investment doesn’t stop at cities, towns and villages. We’re also ensuring our customers have the coverage they expect when visiting busy locations such as airports, stadiums, train stations and shopping centres. Aberdeen International is a great example of the work we are undertaking to improve our coverage for our customers and another clear signal of our ability to move at pace in our wider commitment of building the UK’s best network.”
