Vodafone has become the first UK telco to confirm the switch-on date of its 5G service. The system will go live on the coming days, with London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool involved in the initial deployment. Vodafone plans to expand the service to an additional 12 cities before the end of 2019, and will reveal 5G price plans in 3 July. The company said Chinese manufacturer Huawei will be among the equipment suppliers, despite an ongoing government review.
