But Google users won&#8217;t be the only ones to benefit.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> has already made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> SA technology (i.e. their end-to-end pure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/5g\">5G<\/a> network) available in the \u201c<em>busy areas<\/em>\u201d of 23 cities and hundreds of other locations across the UK, although it\u2019s currently only accessible to customers with supporting devices on their <strong><em>Ultra<\/em><\/strong> plans.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Under the recently approved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/threeuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Three UK<\/a> merger, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Vodafone<\/a> has pledged to extend their 5G SA network to more than 99% of the UK\u2019s population by 2034, while pushing fixed wireless access (home broadband) to 82% of homes by 2030.<\/div>\n<p>However, until recently, owners of Google&#8217;s Pixel 8 and 9 Smartphones haven&#8217;t been able to take full advantage of some of the new network&#8217;s features (when covered by it). But that started to change in June 2024, when <strong>MIMO<\/strong> technology was introduced to Google&#8217;s phones, resulting in faster uploads, and enhanced <strong>Uplink Carrier Aggregation<\/strong> (ULCA &#8211; using several radio bands at once) was also added for increased download speeds.<\/p>\n<p>Vodafone has since doubled the number of antennas communicating with Google&#8217;s phones, improving their mobile broadband performance and the reliability of the connection. This is complemented by the new ULCA combinations available on their 5G Ultra network, allowing the simultaneous aggregation of four spectrum bands (i.e. more spectrum capacity and greater efficiency of the transmission itself).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Andrea Dona, Chief Network Officer, Vodafone UK, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy looking at the data, we can clearly see customer behaviour changing as more of our lives become digital. In previous years, the digital highway was a one-way street, with consumers downloading significantly more data than uploading, but it is starting to balance out now. We must recognise this customer trend and adapt our network as a result.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Michiel van Eldik, VP, Devices &amp; Services Partnerships, Google EMEA, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want our customers to have the freedom to share their experiences seamlessly and in the highest quality possible. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re thrilled to partner with Vodafone on network advancements that make this a reality. Whether it\u2019s live-streaming a concert or sharing a 4K video with loved ones, we&#8217;re committed to providing the best possible mobile experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We should point out that MIMO technology, which is an enhancement in which multiple antennas are used at both the source (mobile mast) and the destination (the user device), is nothing new to wireless networks. But sometimes extra work is required to ensure that these enhancements are properly supported with each new generation of technology and device. It&#8217;s a similar story for ULCA, which was also part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/4g\">4G<\/a> Advanced (LTE-A) spec.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that Vodafone now intends for both of these capabilities, under their 5G SA network, to be &#8220;<em>made available on other devices in the future<\/em>&#8220;. But at the time of writing, we don&#8217;t currently know which devices that will include or when the enhancements will go live for them. Sadly, Vodafone did not provide any benchmarks to show the before and after impact of these changes, which would have been interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vodafone UK has announced that they&#8217;ve worked with Google to bring MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output) support to their Pixel 8 Pro and new Pixel 9, 9 Pro, 9 Pro XL, and 9 Fold phones when on the mobile operator&#8217;s new 5G Standalone (broadband) network, which has helped to boost upload speeds.
