HARLOW is one of the latest areas to get new mobile internet that delivers faster speeds and more reliable performance, especially in busy areas.

EE is expanding its 5G standalone network this summer, aiming to cover more than half of the UK population by the end of August.

This next-generation network is designed to support smoother livestreaming, improved video calling, and better mobile gaming.

Greg McCall, chief networks officer at BT Group, said: “Whether you are video calling from a crowded train station, livestreaming on social media from a sold-out concert, or simply staying in touch with your family and friends over the summer holidays, 5G standalone on EE makes your experience smoother, faster and more secure.

“Delivering a high-quality mobile experience every day for millions of people is what matters to us, it’s what has driven us to build the UK’s most reliable network and why we’re now delivering 5G standalone to more people in more places across the UK.”

The technology also supports Voice over 5G standalone (Vo5G), enabling users with compatible devices to make calls in more locations with reduced connection delays.
