5G expansion in Thuringia: Better, but not complete!
The mobile network in Thuringia has experienced significant improvements in the last two years. According to Deutsche Telekom, the area coverage in the 5G network increased from 11,600 square kilometers to over 13,700 square kilometers during this period. This development means that around 85 percent of the regions in the Telekom network are now covered with 5G. In addition, more than a million households in Thuringia now have access to the advanced mobile network. sueddeutsche.de reports that…

Expanding 5G availability
Other network providers are also active and expanding their 5G availability in Thuringia. This shows that competition in the mobile communications sector is gaining momentum and providers are recognizing the need to offer comprehensive coverage. The Federal Network Agency's interactive mobile communications map offers a helpful overview of the current mobile communications coverage in Germany by providing information on the 2G, 4G and 5G mobile communications standards. Users can easily search this map by zip code, street or location to get accurate information about cell coverage in their area. bundesnetzagentur.de adds that…
Another valuable function of the Federal Network Agency is the possibility of detecting dead spots via broadband measurement or the dead spot app. This user information is crucial for checking the data from the mobile network operators. In addition, concerns about the planning and operation of mobile networks can be addressed directly to the responsible network operators. The regularly updated broadband atlas serves as a central information medium on current broadband coverage in Germany and is available free of charge to all users.
