Movistar, Vodafone and MasOrange sign unprecedented and historic agreement

There were many people who hoped that something like this would come true. Movistar, MasOrange and Vodafone have agreed to share their 5G spectrum so it can be produced revolution in the mobile phone sector In our country. In doing so, they will use the 700 MHz frequency and will ensure that citizens living in rural areas can benefit from a noticeable improvement. They will not only have more recruiting opportunities, but also a higher level of connections. For the way 5G services are offered in Spain, this is a change of a very high level.

Historical agreement

This alliance could mark the beginning of a series of important changes in the industry, with major operators partnering to provide better experiences to users. It must be taken into account that this pact will be activated within the framework of Unico Redes Activas competition awards ceremony

This will be an agreement under which the three organizations will share the 700 MHz band, allowing them to more effectively roll out the network in rural areas. Thanks to this, they will be able to provide their services in places they don’t currently reach and thereby make everyday life easier, especially in those regions of the country where fewer than ten thousand people live.

Very high budget

The competition we are talking about, Unico Redes Activas, intends to leave its mark on the history of the Spanish market, since the contribution it will provide will be the largest to date. Its amount is 544 million euros. intends to change the way telecommunications networks spread across the country.

Operators know how exciting this competition is, which will cover 90% of the cost of deploying all 5G connectivity equipment. Because of this, they may have wanted to win the competition and sign this historic alliance that had not yet happened. Places they can go bring your connections and rates There will be many of them, and this will allow each of the operators to be in a very advantageous situation to attract more customers.

This method of frequency separation between these three will allow them to achieve the required results. They will go from supporting speeds of 40 Mbps, which they can achieve individually, to being able to guarantee the aforementioned speeds of over 100 Gbps.
