Vodafone Spain’s 5G Overhaul with Ericsson Will Revolutionize Internet Speed
Spain, 20th March 2025 – Vodafone Spain has made an exciting announcement about its plans to improve mobile services for its customers. On March 19, 2025, the company revealed that it has chosen Ericsson as its main technology partner to build a standalone 5G Core network for residential users. This new network will allow Vodafone to create a fully independent mobile 5G service, which is great news for consumers looking for faster and more reliable internet connections.
The partnership with Ericsson is based on their advanced dual-mode 5G Core technology. This means that Vodafone can use the existing 5G infrastructure to reach more people—aiming for 90% coverage across Spain and over 3,700 municipalities by the end of this year. This ambitious goal reflects Vodafone’s commitment to ensuring that high-speed internet is accessible to as many people as possible.
Julia Velasco, Director of Network for Vodafone Spain, shared her enthusiasm about the project. She said, “The deployment of our 5G network in Spain’s high-speed infrastructures is another step in our strategy to digitise the regions in which we operate.” This shows how committed Vodafone is to enhancing connectivity and improving customer experiences across urban and rural areas alike.
The new 5G Core network will bring many benefits, including faster internet speeds and better coverage. It will also introduce features like network slicing and lower latency, which means quicker response times for users. With these improvements, customers can expect a more reliable service that enhances their daily lives, whether they are streaming videos, playing online games, or working from home.
Ericsson’s role is crucial as they will implement advanced network functions that support these new features. The four-year agreement aims to make Vodafone’s network more efficient and user-friendly. Additionally, this new service-oriented architecture will open doors for innovative business models and applications that could greatly improve people’s quality of life.
As Vodafone Spain continues to expand its services, this collaboration with Ericsson marks a significant step towards a more connected future for everyone in Spain. With these advancements in technology, consumers can look forward to a seamless digital experience that meets their growing needs and expectations.
