On Monday, Telekom Deutschland announced that its cooperation with Autobahn, which was initially announced in May, is accelerating the expansion of the mobile network on German motorways. The first jointly implemented mobile phone mast has now been installed on the A1 in Saarland, with plans for an additional 400 cell towers. These developments are expected to double the network speeds and reduce the number of dropped calls, according to the joint statement.

Telekom Deutschland announced that the first cooperative cell phone tower on the motorway is now operational at the Schellenbach rest area. In the future, 5G and 4G LTE with at least 200 Mbps will be available across all motorways in Germany, for which Autobahn will provide Telekom with the necessary space in the immediate vicinity of the road.
Telekom Germany said, “We are pleased that we can now go full speed ahead with the expansion of mobile communications along the motorway. In the past, the selection and coordination of new cell phone sites was a lengthy process. The cooperation with Autobahn GmbH has shortened this significantly. This is demonstrated by the speed with which we were able to build the first mast on the A1, from signing the cooperation to implementation in just six months. We want to offer our customers the best possible mobile phone coverage across the entire motorway network.”
