Funkhöcher Adé: Telekom brings mobile phone to the Vellahner mountains!

The Vellahner mountains along the B5 are known for the fact that you often suffer from radio silence. But that could change soon. According to Nordkurier , Telekom has significantly improved mobile phone supply in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district and recently put three new antenna locations into operation. One of these locations is in Vellahn.

In the entire district, 172 mobile communications locations have now been established, which provide proud 99 percent of the population with fast mobile communications. The need for bandwidth is unbroken; It rises by around 30 percent annually. In order to meet this challenge, Telekom plans to expand another 101 locations with LTE and 5G.

new momentum for mobile phone supply

In the past four weeks, Telekom has expanded its mobile network at 772 locations. The company announced that 110 new locations are now equipped with LTE and 5G. The capacity was increased at 499 existing locations, and 5G was put into operation for the first time in 163 of these locations. These details arise from a report by the Telekom Statistically, around 96 percent of households can now access the 5G network of Telekom, with LTE the cover is even 99 percent. The aim is to supply 99 percent of the population with 5G by 2025. This is an important concern for many users, especially at a time when the internet speeds are constantly increasing.

5G on the advance

The progress of 5G supply in Germany cannot be overlooked. The Federal Network Agency reports that in 2023 the 5G coverage by at least one network operator has already reached a significant increase compared to 79 Last year.

Telekom reaches a surface cover of 59 percent. For consumers, this not only means better network coverage, but also higher data rates and faster download speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second.

In order to benefit from the advantages of the 5G network, the end customers need a corresponding 5G-compatible device and a suitable contract. Telekom's expansion plan provides for the existing 4G infrastructure for 5G Dynamic Spectrum Sharing before switching to a complete 5G standalone network.

In the municipality of Amt Neuhaus, which is located near Vellahn, several radio masts were built in 2024 to minimize the radio holes in the region. This shows a clear trend towards strengthening the mobile phone infrastructure - not only in urban areas, but also in rural regions.

Telekom has a good hand at this point by looking for cooperation with municipalities and private owners to rent areas for the new locations. Landlords can expect a long-term, local rent-a win-win for everyone involved.

Developments in the mobile network are a gratifying step into the future. Whether in rural areas or in the city - it is time that all users can benefit from better connections.
