Together with the Universidad de Málaga, we’re working with Intel Corporation to boost #5G uplink speeds ⏫

This means more customers will be able to upload & send videos, photos & files faster.

This is all thanks to a new algorithm developed by Vodafone and Instituto Universitario de Investigación en Telecomunicación de la Universidad de Málaga ('TELMA'), which boosts 5G uplink speeds and capacity.

As a result, engineers from our Vodafone Innovation Centre in Málaga estimate that uplink speeds could potentially reach double that of existing solutions.

As Europe turns to consider its own approach to competition, Vodafone has opened the conversation with a new report – What can we learn from Vodafone’s merger with Three in the UK?
 
We believe Europe can draw on the lessons of the UK Competition & Markets Authority’s Final Report granting conditional approval to the merger of Vodafone and Three in the UK.
 
We set out what we believe led to the change in approach to mobile mergers in the UK. And we put forward the main lessons for any future assessment of mobile mergers in the European Union.

📣 La Vodafone România, peste jumătate dintre angajații noștri sunt femei și ne mândrim cu un echilibru sănătos între femei și bărbați în poziții de management. Este un motiv de bucurie pentru noi și am sărbătorit 1 și 8 martie cu mărțișoare dulci pentru toți colegii, iar pentru colege, și cu flori și sesiuni de wellbeing. Colega noastră și instructoarea de yoga Ecaterina Nazareanu ne-a ajutat să începem zen ziua, iar Mihaela Brăilescu, dietetician acreditat, ne-a fost alături într-o sesiune specială, în care am mai descoperit câteceva despre noi înșine.

🌻 La mulți ani cu bucurie tuturor femeilor!

On 6th March, we were delighted that Steve Yoon, Keysight Technologies’ Senior Vice President for Global Sales, and Thierry LOCQUETTE, Regional Vice President of Sales, EMEA, could visit our state-of-the-art Open RAN Lab in Newbury, UK.

Keysight Technologies and Vodafone share a strong partnership in advancing Open RAN, and it was great to showcase our collaboration using Keysight's Open RAN test equipment and to discuss enhancements in automation and efficiency for testing Open RAN network equipment.

It was equally inspiring to engage with James Grayling, Dan Shannon and Akash Dumbre – the co-author of the Open RAN Handbook 2nd Edition, and discuss how such initiatives drive industry education with proven results. Excited to strengthen our partnership as Open RAN continues to evolve!

Yesterday our CEO Margherita Della Valle joined the CEOs of Deutsche Telekom, Orange and Telefonica to discuss the challenges facing the continent’s digital progress.
 
Europe is falling behind on digital connectivity, as a result of lower investment per capita than in other countries due to a lack of scale.
 
The time is now for a European renaissance on digital connectivity. If we can achieve scale, we can unleash the talent we have in connectivity, architecture and innovation, and put Europe back in the fast lane.
