Hi3G deploys 1,000 sites in 3500MHz band

Hi3G Denmark (3) has deployed a total of 1,000 5G mobile sites in the 3500MHz C-band, bringing its 5G population footprint to 70%. The company is aiming to provide 5G services with download speeds of 1Gbps to 100% of the population by the end of 2023. 3’s network director Kim Christensen commented: ‘It is an important milestone for us to reach in the rollout of our 5G network … At 3, we also want to reach out further than just the densely populated cities. Therefore, we expect to have C-band connectivity at 80% of all locations. 5G (C-band) is significantly faster than 4G, but the 4G part will also be faster after the modernisation due to more spectrum for 4G.’
