Offering customers broadband speeds as fast as fibre with average download speeds of 150 Mb/s, 5GEE WiFi is perfect for gaming, streaming and downloading Ultra HD and 4K video. EE’s 5G network gives customers a more reliable connection, even in the busiest places. So they can stream the latest movies in train stations at rush hour or watch the match in top quality – whether you’re on the bus or the sofa. And when not in a EE 5G area, they’ll get the reassurance of also being on the UK’s biggest 4G network.
EE’s 5G service is currently available in 112 towns and cities across the UK. In the last 12 months, EE has also more than doubled its amount of 5G sites in key cities such as Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh, bringing the latest mobile technology to even more people. What’s more, independent testing by RootMetrics found EE’s 5G network to be the no.1 in the UK, offering 5G in more places than any other UK network.
5GEE WiFi also supports the next generation standard in WiFi technology, Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 6 helps increases the 5GEE WiFi device’s efficiency in heavy bandwidth usage scenarios – perfect for connecting large numbers of devices and high bandwidth services such as AR and VR.
Alistair Wilson, Director of Devices and Partnerships, EE said, said: “EE offers customers the UK’s fastest 5G service in more places, and we’re continually looking for ways to help provide them with new ways to get access to the best superfast internet connectivity on the go. Whether it’s for streaming new movies on a laptop or using the latest augmented reality services with a headset, when paired with our new 5GEE WiFi mobile broadband device, customers will be able to enjoy the incredible speeds offered by the UK’s number one 5G network.”
