5G+ Ultra: the new option for gaming and video telephony

These are the advantages of the new 5G+Ultra.

5G: The strong standard for everyone

With coverage of over 99%, Deutsche Telekom’s 5G network is standard in Germany and therefore a reality almost everywhere. Since 2024, 5G has been automatically included in all Telekom tariffs – even older contracts have been equipped with it, and prepaid customers can also surf with 5G.

5G uses the existing LTE core network (4G) and combines it with new 5G frequencies. This allows customers to achieve maximum bandwidths for fast downloads and high capacities while enjoying the highest security standards.

5G+ Ultra and network slicing

5G+ (technically known as standalone or SA) is not a completely new mobile network, but uses the 5G core network. This means that 5G+ is available almost everywhere that 5G is available. The use of 5G+ is particularly useful in areas where low latency is particularly important, such as mobile gaming or video telephony . The advantages are smoother games or phone calls without stuttering or image loss, but with better video quality and a more realistic experience.

The 5G+ option (in future 5G+ Ultra) is free of charge. If the 5G+ option is booked, the network is only activated when the application really needs it. As soon as your customer closes the app, the smartphone automatically switches back to the normal 5G network.

Network Slicing

Deutsche Telekom is the first network operator to offer a private customer service based on 5G network slicing. In this process, the network is figuratively cut into “slices”. Different service features and quality parameters can then be provided for each slice. The slices are completely isolated from each other and can therefore be adapted to different customer requirements.

Network slicing enables the 5G+ Ultra option to deliver fast response times and high stability for complex mobile applications such as mobile games or video telephony.

Conclusion

5G is the basis for a fast, reliable network for every customer. 5G+ Ultra is the on-top option for anyone who doesn’t want to compromise on latency and stability. Offer your customers real added value and let them know that they can book the “5G+ Ultra” option free of charge when they take out a Telekom mobile phone plan.
