CBI member, Huawei has announced that it has launched a third 5G ultrafast mobile broadband service in the UK, this time in partnership with telecommunications provider, Three.
Three’s ultrafast mobile broadband network is powered by Huawei, and joins fellow CBI members, EE and Vodafone by launching the new service in busy parts of London with a £35 per month home broadband deal. Three announced at the launch, that they plan to expand their service offering with Huawei to cover 25 towns and cities by the end of 2019 and deliver “At least 2x faster” speeds.
Three predict that 80% of their network traffic today will be covered by Huawei’s 5G network within three years. Consequently, the company plans to launch their 5G mobile service at no extra cost for customers on all contract, SIM only and PAYG mobile plans.
Three is confident that it will be able to deliver on its “At least 2x faster” promise, since tests of Huawei’s systems installed in the London Borough of Camden returned an average download speed of 138Mbps, compared to 25Mbps on their 4G network.
Dave Dyson, CEO of Three said: “Three’s 5G is going to revolutionise the home broadband experience. No more paying for landline rentals, no more waiting for engineers, and even a same day delivery option. [Three] have taken a simple approach with one single truly unlimited data plan to give customers the opportunity to fully explore 5G and all its exciting possibilities.”
