Telenor Bulgaria has officially launched its multi-purpose 5G network in Bulgaria.
The operator showcased a number of demonstrations, including 4K media broadcast, VR cloud-based gaming and VR industrial 5G simulation during a special event in Burgas. 5G is now available in more than 60 locations across Bulgaria, including the capital Sofia, Burgas, Varna and Plovdiv, major cities and seaside resorts.
Telenor announced it will start offering FWA (fixed wireless access) with 5G. FWA provides broadband services to homes using wireless mobile network technology. New and existing customers will now have access to very high and stable internet speeds delivered over Telenor’s high-quality and reliable 5G network.
Currently over 55% of Telenor smartphone portfolio is 5G-capable and customers will have access to more than 30 5G-ready devices in numerous price ranges. Telenor plans to expand its network coverage rapidly in the following months with the aim to be a leader in 5G coverage and network quality by the middle of next year.
