Virgin Media O2 has today confirmed the successful acquisition of new high-speed 5G spectrum to boost mobile connectivity with an investment of £13 million following the latest auction held by Ofcom.
- Virgin Media O2 invests £13 million to acquire 800MHz of 26GHz spectrum and 1000MHz of 40GHz spectrum at reserve price following Ofcom’s mmWave auction
- These high frequency airwaves will be used in future to deliver fast, reliable 5G connectivity in the busiest locations such as airports, arenas and stadiums
- A trial of mmWave spectrum in September saw a record speed of 4Gbps reached on the O2 network
- This spectrum acquisition complements Virgin Media O2’s mobile transformation plan which sees the operator investing £700 million in 2025 to improve and future-proof its mobile network
