EE Launches 4G LTE in London

The new 4G+ technology uses EE’s 2.6GHz high capacity spectrum and is available in large parts of central London, including Shoreditch, Old Street, Southbank, Soho, Westminster, and Kensington. By June 2015, EE aims to have full 4G+ coverage across Greater London, and will then introduce 4G+ across the UK’s busiest cities, including Birmingham, Liverpool, and Manchester.

Olaf Swantee, CEO at EE, said: “The UK is now back to being a world leader in mobile networks. Just two years since we were behind every developed market from the US to Japan, we’ve invested in innovation, driven competition, and given people in London a mobile network that’s faster than almost any other in the world, and even faster than most fiber broadband available here.

“We’re delighted to be able to offer our business exclusively, and consumer customers on EE plans the fastest speeds available in the UK. We’re now the largest 4G network in Europe, but it doesn’t stop here. We’ll keep investing to make sure that all our customers can get access to the great mobile technology that can make a real difference to the way they live their digital lives.”

At the same time as delivering new 4G+ speeds to the capital, EE continues to roll out 4G to the whole of the UK. The 19 new 4G towns switched on this month are Alexandria (Scotland), Banbury, Biggleswade, Blaydon, Catterick Garrison, Cookstown (Northern Ireland), Garforth, Greenock, Holmfirth, Limavady (Northern Ireland), Maltby, Oxted, Penicuik (Scotland), Tring, Waltham Cross, Warminster, Warwick, Winterbourne, and Ystrad Mynach (Wales).

EE’s unique Double Speed 4G is also expanding across the UK. The network with speeds up to 60 Mbps is now available in 20 places and to more than 50% of the UK population, and will widely cover 20 more large towns and cities by the end of the year.

Just two years since launching 4G into the UK, EE now has more than six million 4GEE customers, making it the largest 4G network in Europe.

Fotis Karonis, CTO at EE, said: “We’re building a network for the future. We’re making sure that there is enough speed, enabled by enough capacity, to let our growing 4GEE customer base do all the amazing things that are just breaking through now – 4K video over 4G, wearable technology, and increasingly sophisticated mobile business apps. Capacity is the lifeblood of good mobile service, and we’re adding more here to give our customers the best possible mobile experience, now and into the future.”
