Mobile operator O2<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>) has this morning announced that they\u2019ve switched-on their next-generation 5G<\/a> Standalone (5GSA \/ 5G<\/a>+) mobile broadband network in Wales, which is said to reach more than 800,000 residents and businesses across 9 large towns and cities, 18 smaller towns, and 133 villages.<\/p>\n

The new 5G<\/a>+ network is now live across more than 86% of the UK\u2019s population. The technology offers a pure end-to-end 5G network that can deliver ultra-low latency times, greater energy efficiency, better speeds (particularly uploads), network slicing, improved support for IoT devices, increased reliability and security etc. By comparison, early 5G networks used a Non-Standalone (NSA) approach, which was hobbled by being partly reliant upon older and slower 4G<\/a> infrastructure.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The upgrade forms part of O2<\/a>\u2019s wider \u00a3700m Mobile Transformation Plan for 2026.<\/div>\n

O2<\/a>\u2019s 5GSA rollout first began in February 2024 (here<\/a>) and aims to reach \u201cat least 90% outdoor coverage<\/em>\u201d in every location they cover. The operator\u2019s rollout across Wales includes locations such as Cardiff, Newport, Barry, Barry Island, Cwmbran, Penarth, Risca, Chepstow, Caldicot, Monmouth, Llantwit Major, Caerleon, Dinas Powis, Radyr, Magor, Rhoose, Sully, Roglet, Tongqynlais, St Athan, Pen-y-Rheol, Thornhill, Whitchurch, and Morganstown.<\/p>\n

The new network is typically available to O2 customers with compatible devices \u201cat no extra cost<\/em>\u201c, although we do wish that mobile operators would start giving geographic coverage figures for their 5G+ network as population figures always sound better than the reality often shows.<\/p>\n

Professor Robert Joyce, Director of Mobile Access Engineering at O2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant step forward for mobile connectivity in Wales. We\u2019re expanding 5G+ across cities like Cardiff and Newport as well as towns, villages and rural communities right across the country, bringing faster speeds, lower latency and a more reliable experience to more than 800,000 people.<\/p>\n

\u201cBacked by our tidy \u00a3700 million Mobile Transformation Plan and cracking innovations like O2 Satellite<\/a>, we\u2019re not just upgrading the network, we\u2019re extending high-quality coverage into parts of Wales that have historically been harder to reach.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
