(Telecompaper) Telecom Italia (TIM) and Nokia have covered the entire territory of San Marino with their 5G network, achieving their previously announced end-of-year target to convert the the micro-state into the first nation in Europe with an active 5G mobile network. The milestone comes after the partners activated the first 5G antenna complying with 3GPP Release 15 standards in Faetano earlier this year. The coverage has now been increased to 99 percent of the territory via the installation of 8 macro sites with 3,500 MHz and 26 GHz antennas, allowing users throughout San Marino to reach potential speeds around 10 times that of 4G.
