o2 and Deutsche Telekom Surpass Billion-Gigabyte Mark in 5G Networks

In a significant milestone, both o2 and Deutsche Telekom have surpassed the 't mobile coverage map' billion-gigabyte mark in their 5G mobile networks within a single year. This remarkable feat underscores the rapid growth in 'consumption' and the increasing integration of 5G into 'life movie'. o2 CEO Markus Haas attributed this surge to 5G's seamless integration into everyday digital life, a process that has taken just five years. Meanwhile, Vodafone Germany saw a more than double increase in data 'consumption', reaching 0.75 billion gigabytes. Notably, o2-Telefónica transported over a billion gigabytes in Germany from October 2024 to September 2025, setting a new record. The driving force behind this exponential growth is the rising penetration of smartphones, the increased use of high-data applications like gaming and streaming, and the proliferation of IoT devices. These factors, coupled with broader digitalization trends, have led to a significant increase in data traffic. This growth is linked to the overall expansion in big data demand and the rising usage of digital services by both consumers and businesses. The billion-gigabyte mark in 5G mobile networks signals a new era of 'consumption'. As 5G continues to permeate 'life movie', network providers must keep pace with this rapid growth to ensure reliable and efficient connectivity.
