Telefonica Deutschland said its O2 network has entered into the Exabyte era. In the past twelve months, its customers sent almost 1 billion gigabytes of data volume through the O2 mobile network, which corresponds to about one Exabyte of mobile data.
The company said it is also committed to a sustainable use of data. Even though the volume of data used is constantly increasing, energy consumption per gigabyte is being reduced significantly by around 50 percent in recent years alone, said the Operator.
Network expansion in cities and rural areas is a top priority for Telefónica Deutschland. Having initially had to master the nationwide integration of two mobile networks by 2018 in order to offer customers a uniform and improved network experience, the company is now putting all its resources into LTE expansion - with network measures that are increasing in scope every year.
Telefónica Deutschland is also starting its 5G roll-out in the five largest German cities of Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne and Frankfurt. By the end of 2022, 30 cities with a total of 16 million inhabitants will be covered.
