5G refers to the 5th generation of mobile networks. It is the fastest and most reliable mobile technology developed to this date, offering very high data speeds, significantly increased capacity and ultra-low latency. 5G has been designed to meet the enormous data growth and connectivity needs of modern society, to effectively support billions of simultaneously connected devices (Internet of Things) and to enable innovative applications that will dramatically change the way we live and work.

The COSMOTE 5G network is available nationwide with coverage reaching 99%, while the maximum Mobile Internet speeds of the COSMOTE 5G network exceed 1Gbps in selected regions.

The average speed is approximately the same as that of the COSMOTE 4G+ network, while latency times have dropped to about 10ms. As we move forward with the development of the COSMOTE 5G network and start using the 3.5GHz band, speeds will be steadily increasing and latency will be reduced to virtually zero.

Once fully developed, 5G will render it possible to install and manage new interactive and smart services across all connected devices, almost in real time. The network will be able to serve up to 1,000,000 devices per square kilometer and it will enable maximum speeds of up to 10Gbps. The ultra-low response time (latency) of 1 millisecond and five-nines communication reliability will allow us to experience, for the first time, a “real-time” sensation in Internet applications.

• Extremely high speeds of up to 10Gbps (x10 times faster than 4G).
• Virtually zero response time (latency), as it will drop to 1 millisecond, and five nines communication reliability. Features that take the Virtual & Augmented Reality experience to a whole new level, enabling applications such as remote surgery and live holographic phone calls.
• The 5G network will be able to serve up to 1,000,000 devices per square kilometer, thus paving the way for the Internet of Things, where many additional devices, such as cars and home appliances, will eventually be connected to mobile networks.
• Up to 100 times increased network capacity, allowing for the simultaneous serving of a much higher number of people, even when using services that are demanding both in terms of speed and response times, and even in densely populated areas.

All 4G-enabled SIM cards can also be used on a 5G network.

Access to the COSMOTE 5G network is available to all COSMOTE subscribers, individuals and companies, at no additional charge and regardless of their chosen mobile telephony plan (contract, cost controlt, prepaid).

All you need is a 5G device, certified in the COSMOTE network, and to be in an area with COSMOTE 5G network coverage.

Your 5G device will automatically switch to the COSMOTE 5G network. Alternatively, you can text “5G” to 1333, free of charge.

COSMOTE follows all international radio frequency exposure guidelines, which are based on extensive research and also include the frequencies used for the development and operation of 5th generation networks.

The 5G network operates in three different frequency ranges which complement each other, in order to ensure that, regardless of whether you are connecting from a remote rural area or a densely populated city, you are able to enjoy all the infinite potential of this new technology!

How? These three frequencies are designed to work like the pieces of a puzzle.
