Fastweb + vodafone Achieves 2.5 Gbps Mobile speeds in Italy,Pioneering 5G Advanced & AI-Driven Network Optimization
Milan & Rome,Italy – Fastweb + Vodafone has announced a meaningful breakthrough in mobile network technology,successfully completing a trial achieving peak download speeds of 2.5 Gigabits per second (Gbps) in Rome and milan.this milestone positions the operator at the forefront of 5G Advanced deployment in italy and signals a transformative shift in the nation’s digital capabilities.the achievement, realized through collaboration with leading technology providers Honor, Qualcomm Technologies, and xiaomi, promises too unlock a new era of connectivity, supporting advanced applications and next-generation services powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML).
A Leap Towards 5G Advanced & Enhanced Spectral Efficiency
This isn’t simply about faster downloads. The trial demonstrates a crucial step towards realizing the full potential of 5G Advanced,a next-generation evolution of 5G technology. Fastweb + Vodafone achieved this speed by aggregating six carriers - five 4G LTE bands and a dedicated 5G New Radio (NR) component utilizing entirely 5G transmitters. Crucially, the 5G NR component leveraged 1024QAM modulation, a refined technique that dramatically increases spectral efficiency – meaning more data can be transmitted within the same bandwidth.
“This achievement isn’t just about hitting a speed number; it’s about fundamentally improving how efficiently we use our spectrum,” explains Max Gasparroni, Chief Technology and Security Officer at Fastweb + Vodafone. “we’re accelerating the development of high-value services and making a concrete contribution to the digitalization of Italy.”
AI-Powered Network Optimization for Superior Performance & Sustainability
Beyond raw speed, Fastweb + Vodafone is actively integrating AI and ML into its network infrastructure to deliver a consistently superior user experience. Two key projects are currently underway:
* Smart Radio Stations: Utilizing AI-powered smart devices on existing 4G radio stations to dynamically optimize wireless performance, improving coverage within challenging environments like offices, shopping centers, and public spaces.
* AI-driven Traffic balancing: Implementing AI algorithms to automatically adjust network parameters in real-time, balancing traffic loads and ensuring optimal performance for all users.This smart optimization also contributes to greater energy efficiency and a more enduring network.
Unlocking New Applications & Driving Industry Innovation
The increased throughput and capacity offered by this 2.5 Gbps network are poised to revolutionize a wide range of applications and industries.Fastweb + Vodafone anticipates significant benefits for:
* Immersive Experiences: Augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications will become more seamless and responsive, opening up new possibilities for entertainment, training, and remote collaboration.
* Industrial IoT & Automation: supporting the demands of smart factories, connected logistics, and advanced manufacturing processes with reliable, high-bandwidth connectivity.
* Wearable Technology: Enabling more sophisticated and data-intensive wearable devices for healthcare, fitness, and personal monitoring.
* AI Agent Expansion: Facilitating the deployment of AI agents for automating routine tasks and improving operational efficiency across various sectors.
* Beyond 1 Gbps: A Catalyst for innovation: Even networks exceeding 1 Gbps are seen as critical for driving innovation in fields like logistics, manufacturing automation, education, and healthcare.
A Mobile Ecosystem Built for the Future
Fastweb + Vodafone’s commitment to innovation extends beyond this single milestone.The operator emphasizes its dedication to continuous investment in cutting-edge technologies and infrastructure, resulting in a mobile network consistently recognized as the best in italy by independent reports.
“Offering an ever-better experience to our customers is our unwavering goal,” states Gasparroni. “Ours is a mobile ecosystem capable of adapting quickly to customer needs,and we are now adding new capacity and flexibility to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving digital landscape.”
Dino Flore, Vice President of Technology at Qualcomm Europe, echoed this sentiment, stating, “We congratulate Fastweb + Vodafone on this significant milestone and are proud to have collaborated with Honor and xiaomi on this trial. The improvements in network performance and spectral efficiency offered by 5G Advanced are substantial, and we look forward to continuing our partnership to bring exciting new services to customers.”
