Vodafone begins 5G trials in Ukraine

Vodafone Ukraine has begun its 5G trials, pairing up with Finnish vendor Nokia to carry out the trials during the Action Forum 2024. The company held its first trails this month which was confirmed by Ukraine's Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov.

"The significance of our trial in May 2024 is that the conditions are as close as possible to reality: this time Vodafone Ukraine and Nokia launched fragments of a real network: traffic goes through billing; we study how the network interferes with other networks nearby, how far the real coverage can reach, what is user’s behavior and so on."

"The Eclectic Sound Orchestra performed on the roof of Vodafone's office in Kyiv, while the female vocal group Spivochi performed on the stage of Promprylad in Ivano-Frankivsk," Vodafone said.
