Vodafone Joins Forces with Amazon's Project Kuiper for Expanded 5G Coverage

Vodafone has announced a partnership with Amazon's Project Kuiper to expand the reach of its 4G and 5G networks in Europe and Africa. The collaboration will utilize Project Kuiper's high-bandwidth, low-latency satellites to connect mobile base stations in remote areas, eliminating the need for fiber-based or fixed wireless links. The partnership aims to provide high-speed broadband services to underserved communities and businesses, such as back-up connections. This move complements Vodafone's existing work with AST SpaceMobile to develop a space-based mobile network.
