Vodafone Spain secures spectrum to deliver new services for customers

Vodafone Spain has been awarded a total of 60 MHz (2x30 MHz) of new spectrum in the Spanish government’s auction, enabling the Company to provide its customers with enhanced mobile internet services across the country, including in rural areas.

The spectrum award will support Vodafone Spain’s plans to develop the next generation of wireless data services, known as Long Term Evolution (LTE) technology. LTE transforms the customer experience of the mobile internet, offering high-speed data access and rich multimedia services. In developing LTE services, Vodafone Spain will draw on the experience of Vodafone Germany, which launched LTE towards the end of 2010.
