"Three months into operation as a fully merged company, VodafoneThree operates as a multi-brand mobile strategy in the consumer market, with Vodafone, Three, VOXI, Smarty and Talkmobile remaining. Vodafone has a single brand for business customers, offering one team able to tailor systems to a customer's needs, with the ambition to become the UK's biggest converged network for business. VodafoneThree claims to be the only UK operator with a quarter-by-quarter, year-by-year plan to reach 99.95% 5G standalone (5G SA) population coverage by 2034."
"The operator believes this will see customers of both brands experience improved coverage, reliability and speed when using 4G and 5G networks. The deals with Ericsson and Nokia will span an eight-year period and will see the installation of "the latest technology and R&D" to deliver 5G technology over the course of the forthcoming decade. Nokia and Ericsson will make up the majority of VodafoneThree's network build which will culminate in a greater number of sites."
VodafoneThree announced an investment program including contracts worth more than £2bn with Ericsson and Nokia to deliver 5G infrastructure as part of an overall £11bn plan. The merged operator maintains multiple consumer brands while consolidating a single business brand to offer tailored converged network services. The 5G SA rollout targets 99.95% population coverage by 2034, with a front-loaded plan to reach 90% coverage from a 47% baseline within three years and up to 50 million people accessing fastest 5G speeds in one year. MOCN technology will enable devices to connect to the best available coverage across networks, improving coverage, reliability and speed. Ericsson will deploy next-generation RAN and core technology while Nokia and Ericsson will deliver the majority of the network build over an eight-year partnership.
