Spanish telecom operator Masmovil is currently offering 5G service in almost 1,400 towns and cities in 51 provinces across Spain for the customers of its Yoigo brand, the carrier said in a release.
According to the operator, 70% of the country’s population is already covered with its 5G network infrastructure. Masmovil also said that it had reached 505 new towns and cities in its latest 5G expansion.
The carrier’s 5G service is being offered via a combination of its own infrastructure and an agreement with rival operator Orange. Masmovil currently has 80 megahertz of spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band for the provision of 5G services nationwide.
Some of the provinces in which the carrier provides 5G include Albacete, Alicante, Almería, Asturias, Ávila, Badajoz, Barcelona, Burgos, Castellón, Cáceres, Cádiz, Cantabria, Ceuta, Cordoba, Cuenca, Gipuzkoa, Granada, Girona, Guadalajara, Huelva, Huesca, León, Lleida, Lugo, Madrid, Málaga, Melilla, Murcia, Navarra, Ourense, Palencia, Las Palmas, Pontevedra, La Rioja, Salamanca, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Segovia, Sevilla, Soria, Tarragona, Toledo, Valencia, Valladolid, Zamora and Zaragoza.
The operator said it aims to continue deploying 5G infrastructure in the coming months to expand its current coverage. Masmovil also noted that its 5G portfolio already includes over 30 devices.
In October 2019, Masmovil signed an agreement with Orange Spain covering mobile, fiber and broadband technologies. The deal gave Masmovil access to Orange Spain’s entire 5G network thanks to a “virtual active sharing mode” agreement, enabling it to deploy 5G in 4,500 locations that cover 35% of the Spanish population in 40 main cities including Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Seville, Zaragoza, Malaga and Bilbao.
The 5G deal between Masmovil and Orange will be valid until 2028 and is extendable for 5 additional years. Read More…
