The U.S. Army activated seven new fifth-generation (5G) cell towers in Bavaria to boost connectivity and speeds over 100 Mbps.
Four towers are at Tower Barracks, Grafenwoehr, with towers at Rose Barracks, Vilseck, and two in Hohenfels, replacing temporary infrastructure for Vodafone.
The towers are solar-powered, offsetting energy use, and Dwayne Key II, deputy to the garrison commander, says the installation will improve internet reliability and could host more providers.
