T-Mobile Austria launches 5G network with 25 base stations

T-Mobile Austria says the conclusion of the 5G spectrum auction in Austria in early March and the licenses it purchased gave it what it needs to deploy 5G throughout the country. And the company activated its first 5G base stations in Austria on Tuesday. The 25 initial 5G base stations are located primarily in rural regions. And the company has plans to add more 5G base stations as part of its mobile network over the course of the further build-out. "With investments of €57 million in 5G spectrum, T-Mobile is sending a clear signal for Austria's digital future,” said Andreas Bierwirth, CEO of T-Mobile Austria, in a prepared statement.
