Anyone going on a business trip or vacation sometimes asks the question: Can I get a network with my mobile phone? There is now a website for Germany that clarifies this issue. However, the fifth generation of 5G mobile communications is not yet shown.
Cell phone coverage in all towns, cities and uninhabited areas in Germany can be seen for the first time on an online map from the Federal Network Agency. The website www.breitband-monitor.de, which has now been activated, shows the availability of the three network operators, namely Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefónica. Click here, to get to the map. However, the service may not be available at this time due to the large number of visits.
There has never been a card like this before; accessibility can be seen directly on the streets and addresses, according to the different 2G, 3G and 4G cellular standards. 5G will also be added in the future. Fifth generation mobile communication networks are just getting established.
Random check
The data for the complete map comes from the three network operators; the regulatory authority checks its accuracy on a random basis. “We are monitoring the development of mobile phone coverage and will make the data available to the public on a regular basis in the future,” said Jochen Homann, president of the Federal Network Agency. The overview will be updated quarterly, next time in January 2021.
According to the map, at least one network operator supplies 4G (LTE) to 96.5 percent of the area in Germany. If you add the slowest 3G, you get 97.3 percent of the country’s area. Including 2G (Edge), dead spots where a single network operator is not active would drop to just 0.3 percent of the country’s area. For consumers, however, these are theoretical values because your mobile phone only connects to one of the three networks – the offline areas for your smartphone are larger. On the map, you can see exactly where your cell phone contract threatens a dead zone or fast-paced internet.
