Many European mobile network operators have confirmed that they will remove support for their 3G networks from 2020 onwards:
Other regions such as North America and Asia have shut down their 2G networks first, so why is Europe different? 4G LTE can do anything 3G does but better and more cost effectively, so nobody is really interested in 3G in Europe today Re-farming of 3G bands can boost 4G LTE networks making its sunset more valuable to operators 2G still supports low cost, large footprint coverage making it a better fail back technology from 4G LTE than 3G 2G is also still highly used for M2M/IoT applications – in fact, two thirds of operators cited this as a reason for continuing to support their 2G networks for longer https://www.westbase.io/3g-sunset-in-europe...our-next-steps/ |
