On Wednesday, German telecom giant Deutsche Telekom announced that Germany's first 5G network was operational for customers in Bonn and Berlin, albeit with limited coverage.
Deutsche Telekom also began selling the first 5G-compatible Samsung Galaxy S10 phones in Germany on Wednesday for around €900 ($1,000), along with unlimited data packets starting at €85 monthly.
Ultra-fast 5G data networks can transfer data at 1,000 times faster than current 4G networks.
They are designed for use by self-driving cars, connected factories and smart cities. Deutsche Telekom said that the construction of 5G network infrastructure would continue in Berlin and Bonn, followed by Hamburg, Munich, Darmstadt and Leipzig.
By the end of 2020, the company said 5G networks should be operational in Germany's 20 largest cities.
