Wiesbaden (dpa / lhe) - How is Hessen progressing with the expansion of the cell phone masts for powerful cell phone reception?

Digital Minister Kristina Sinemus (CDU) wants to report on this today in Wiesbaden and present a new mobile communications funding program.

In autumn 2018, Hessen had signed a mobile phone pact with Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone and Telefónica Deutschland.

It was announced that 800 new cell phone sites would be set up in the following years and 4000 systems would be modernized that would have at least 4G speed.

The Ministry of Digital Affairs announced that the expansion of coverage with the fast LTE network has picked up speed this year despite the corona pandemic.
