"Fifth Generation" begins with the invasion of the United Kingdom
Three mobile phone services in the United Kingdom said it would launch its first 3G broadband service in London in August and would cover 25 cities and towns before the end of the year.
Three, owned by Hutchison, said it would launch the fifth-generation broadband network in London, joining BT and IE. And Vodafone to launch the service in 2019.
The investment of the fifth generation network infrastructure, costing 2 billion pounds (2.55 billion dollars), included improvements to the network in new British cities and a major cloud network from Nokia.
"It's clear that customers and companies want more and more data," Chief Executive Dave Dyson said in a statement.
"We have worked hard over a long period of time to be able to provide the best service for the fifth generation from the beginning to the end, the fifth generation changes the game for the company."
EE launched its fifth generation services in six cities in May, while Vodafone will launch service on July 3. The two companies took out Huawei's smart phones from fifth-generation upgrades because of the uncertainty about Google's support for Google's Android phones after the move by the United States, which is blocking the Chinese company's access to its technology.
She said she would announce the details of the devices that will be part of the launch of the network in July.
The United States said Huawei posed a security threat and was open to spying by Beijing, a claim denied by the Chinese company.
The British National Security Council decided in April to ban Huawei from dealing with all key parts of the future fifth generation network and give them controlled access to non-essential parts, but the government has not yet made a final decision.
The fifth generation network is expected to be commercially launched globally in 2020.
