Introducing Vodafone Ultra Hub and WiFi 6E: the next generation in home connectivity

Accelerating broadband speeds

We have one of Europe’s largest broadband networks with over 18m customers. Our gigabit-capable connections enable people to download large items – such as films – in seconds. In the UK, we've launched the latest WiFi 6E hubs and boosters with other European markets to follow. These enable simultaneous connection of up to 150 devices and guarantee fast speeds throughout the home.

Network as a Platform (NaaP) – all you need to know

Advanced network drives innovation

Our sophisticated Network-as-a-Platform (NaaP) technology makes enhanced capabilities – such as cloud services, accurate device tracking, and fast low-latency data transmission – available to innovators. This enables them to develop powerful new technologies to enrich people's lives, such as call identification, better fraud prevention, and more personalised and optimised devices.

Open RAN – a smart new way to connect

Vodafone and its partners are pioneering the use of open radio access networks (RAN) technology to enhance customer experiences. By building networks in a more standardised and competitive way, we can mix and match the best technologies to dramatically improve security, customer focus, energy efficiency, and cost effectiveness.

What is Open RAN

Open RAN Virtual Lab Tour

Vodafone's Open RAN lab is a hub of collaboration – bringing together industry partners, developers and engineers, all striving to improve the performance, security, and scalability of our network.

We know that not everyone can make their way down to Newbury to see it for themselves, so we’ve created a virtual tour of the state-of-the-art facility.
