5G goes live: the State’s first network gets switched on

After much hype, 5G has finally arrived as Vodafone Ireland goes live in five cities

Vodafone expects to have rolled out its 5G mobile network nationwide by the end of next year. However it has again stressed that the new network cannot be considered as a possible replacement for the National Broadband Plan (NBP).

The company became the first mobile operator in the State to go live with a commercial 5G service on Tuesday with coverage restricted to certain parts of Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Galway and Waterford. It said it would expand the network to other locations over the coming months with a full roll-out forecast by the end of 2020.
