O2 and Vodafone to optimise their 5G spectrum in deal

The UK mobile carriers, O2 and Vodafone, have announced a deal, subject to Ofcom approval, which will see the two firms trade bands to create more efficient 5G spectrum blocks. The deal should see better coverage indoors and out in urban, suburban, and rural areas. O2 said larger contiguous blocks allow for faster speeds, lower latency, and greener 5G services.
