Developers Will Get 5G Speed to Develop New 5G Use Cases

With the launch of the Vodafone 5G Lab in Spain, now developers in the country will get access to 5G network speed for developing new 5G use cases for both the enterprise as well as the consumer sector. According to the expectations of both the companies, over 200 developers and software companies will be utilising the lab in the first year alone.

The Vodafone 5G Lab in Spain is powered by the new Ericsson Cloud-Native 5G Core. The 5G network inside the lab is running independently of the existing 4G network enabling network slicing along with improving the stability and performance of the network.

The 5G lab is also said to maintain a continuous calendar of events, workshops, roadshows, and challenges for helping startups and small businesses/companies which are just starting out and most of this will be conducted online to ensure maximum reach throughout the country.
