Odido secures preferred frequencies during nationwide 5G auction

Odido successfully participated in the nationwide 3.5 GHZ auction, securing the desired frequencies on the band. With these frequencies, the telecom provider is able to further expand the capacity of its 5G network, which will further enhance the network experience and speeds on Odido's mobile network. With large-scale network upgrades expected to be completed by the end of this year and the acquisition of new frequencies during the 3.5 GHz auction, Odido is poised to offer its customers an even better network experience over the 5G network.

The activation of the 3.5 GHz band is an essential part of the 5G network, and the auction of this band was completed today by the Dutch Authority Digital Infrastructure (RDI). In the process, Odido secured the position in the 3.5 GHz band that the provider had envisioned. ''We are very happy with the outcome. This 3.5 GHz band is crucial for our mobile network to remain among the global leaders. This new frequency band for 5G not only provides extra capacity, but also more (data) speed on the network. This will lead to an even better network experience for our customers. Companies and consumers can soon count on higher data speeds, more capacity and a wide variety of innovative applications," says Johan van den Branden, Chief Network and Operations Officer at Odido.

Once Odido receives the licenses from RDI, the telecom provider will turn on the 3.5 GHz frequencies.
