Telekom’s LTE expansion in the past two months was Bavaria with 167 new LTE locations and extensions. In second place is Hesse with 46 new buildings and extensions, followed by North Rhine-Westphalia with 45 new LTE masts and antennas.

With regard to 5G, Deutsche Telekom’s objective has not changed: at least the 20 largest cities in Germany are to be connected to the 5G network by the end of the year.
