Vienna (OTS) – Title: Hanke/Diehl/: Vienna breaks Austrian high-speed record: 10 Gigabit/s transmitted via mobile network for the first time
- 5G-Advanced provides a boost to digitalization
- Hanke: “Smart solutions and digitalisation measures make Vienna an even more attractive business location”
- Magenta CEO Diehl: “New frequencies are an investment in the Vienna location and customer satisfaction”
Vienna (OTS) – Internet history was made today in Vienna’s T-Center, the headquarters of Magenta Telekom. For the first time in Austria, a download speed of 10 gigabits per second was achieved via a mobile network. This enormous speed makes it possible, for example, to download a high-resolution one-hour 4K film in just six seconds. “The mobile phone record shown today is an important step for Vienna as a business location and shows that we have arrived in the future. Because in the international competition for business locations, technical infrastructure is a key decision criterion,” says City Councilor for Economic Affairs Peter Hanke.
5G-Advanced as a new technological intermediate step to 6G
5G-Advanced serves as the carrier technology, explains Volker Libovsky, CTIO Magenta Telekom: “5G-Advanced is the next intermediate generation on the way to 6G, it uses the 26 GHz band. If you combine this with frequencies from the 3.6 GHz band, you achieve an unprecedented bandwidth for the transmission of huge amounts of data. Possible areas of application for our customers are complex campus solutions in industry, but also the areas of virtual reality or 3D holography.”
New mobile phone frequencies make record speeds possible
Magenta Telekom recently acquired some of the frequency bands used for the speed record. CEO Rodrigo Diehl: “In Vienna, Magenta has acquired the largest spectrum in the 3.6 GHz range. This shows our ambition to continually increase customer satisfaction and underlines our long-term commitment to Vienna as a business location.”
5G-Advanced contributes to the 2030 economic and innovation strategy
With the technological development presented, Vienna will have another facet to offer as a business location, says Peter Hanke, City Councillor for Economic Affairs: “Vienna is already one of the top business locations in the EU. We are ranked 18th among the 281 EU regions. The aim of our 2030 economic and innovation strategy is to make the location even more attractive through smart solutions and digitalization measures. Telecommunications play an important role in this.”
