“Magyar Telekom has been testing 5G technology and its embedded technological possibilities for years. In 2017 - under laboratory conditions at the time - we have established the first 5G connection in Hungary, and in January this year we have launched our first, standard 5G test station in downtown Zalaegerszeg. 5G technology - supporting far greater data transmission speed than today, low latency and the connection of a vast number of network devices - offers a multitude of new possibilities for industrial and everyday use” – said Tibor Rékasi, CEO of Magyar Telekom.
