Vodafone has conducted a successful trial connecting next-generation 5G smartphones to its network for the first time. The company is preparing to launch 5G in some European cities later this year. The company had made an ultra-high-resolution 4K video call during trials in Barcelona and Madrid, at speeds 10 times faster than current 4G technology.
Worldwide commercial launch of 5G is likely to be in 2020, and some countries led by the United States, China and South Korea have already announced or carried out deployments on a small scale.

It is developing world-class infrastructure to introduce newer and smarter technologies, making both retail and enterprise customers future ready with innovative offerings conveniently accessible through an ecosystem of digital channels as well as extensive on-ground presence.
