Iliad subsidiary Free Mobile has become the fourth mobile network in France to announce the commercial launch of 5G.
The telco said that its 5G network already has 5,255 active sites across France, which enables the carrier to cover almost 40% of the country’s overall population.
Free Mobile also said that its 5G network already covers rural areas as well as towns and cities.
For its 5G network, Free Mobile uses frequencies in the 700 MHz band as well as frequencies in the 3.5 GHz band which Free acquired in the French spectrum auction in 2020.
