Commission initiates process for adopting fresh regulations

In the heart of Bavaria, the Regensburg district is set to witness a significant boost in its mobile communications infrastructure. Vodafone, one of Germany's leading communication conglomerates, has announced plans for two 5G upgrades in the municipalities of Neutraubling and Holzheim am Forst.

As part of the ongoing infrastructure project "Mobile communications for the Regensburg district," Vodafone has already put a mobile communications station in Pfatter into operation, eliminating a gap in mobile broadband coverage. This move marks a milestone in the district's digital transformation.

Currently, approximately 3,000 residents and guests have been connected to Vodafone's mobile data highway, and the new LTE station in Pfatter enables emergency calls and disaster warnings. The new Cell Broadcast technology, installed in all mobile communications stations, supports smartphone-based disaster warnings in case of emergencies.

Vodafone's machine network (Narrowband IoT) covers more than 97% of German territory for industry and business, and the company aims to be carbon neutral by 2025 and net-zero by 2040, already today covering 100% of its electricity needs with renewable energies.

Two new construction sites in Pfatter are planned to be put into operation within the next twelve months, with the remaining 26 stations without 5G to be gradually upgraded to 5G sites, if technically feasible. Vodafone plans to implement five more mobile communications construction projects in the district by mid-2026, but specific expansion plans for the 5G network in the Regensburg district remain undisclosed at this time.

For the most authoritative and timely details about Vodafone's 5G rollout in Regensburg, it is recommended to contact Vodafone Germany directly or monitor their official press releases and local regulatory filings.

Residents in the district are already benefiting from Vodafone's networks for activities such as social media, HD video streaming, live events, and news consumption. The new antennas support the latest variants of the emergency call technology AML.

Vodafone Germany generates an annual turnover of approximately 13 billion euros with around 15,000 employees. The company provides internet, mobile, fixed-line, and TV services, and the expansion of the mobile network in the district aims to close gaps, strengthen the existing network, and further expand the 5G network.

Tanja Richter, Vodafone's technical director, stated that mobile communications are important for the local economy, jobs, and quality of life. As the Regensburg district continues to grow and evolve, Vodafone's investments in its mobile communications infrastructure will play a crucial role in ensuring that residents and businesses have access to the latest technology and services.
