The federal government has developed a framework for action with the 5G Strategy for Germany, launched in summer 2017, in order to support network expansion and the development of 5G applications at an early stage. In November 2019, the German government has approved a mobile communications strategy.
Another German telecom company that has launched 5G services in the country is Vodafone. They turned on their first 25 base stations on July 16, 2019, added Berlin a month later, and currently cover 10 million people with the new network. Customers can use 5G with a compatible phone.
In the long term, all four German 5G providers will be used. N78 is primarily used to supply the cities, while N1 (2.1 GHz) is being promoted primarily by Deutsche Telekom for area expansion. Vodafone, on the other hand, relies on n28 (700 MHz) and n3 (1.8 GHz) for rural expansion.
The currently most important 5G band in Germany is n78 (at 3.6 GHz). It is primarily used to supply the cities.
In Germany, the adoption of 5G technology is gaining momentum, driving the need for top-notch 5G base stations. Here is a list of the top 10 5G base station companies in Germany for 2025.
