Hungary is looking to quickly launch an efficient 5G network, thereby acting as a European hub for 5G development. An auction for national spectrum licenses for the development of 5G in the 700MHz, 2.1GHz, and 3.6GHz bands was concluded in March 2020. The three dominant mobile players won spectrum with licenses covering 15 years until 2035.
Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
Vodafone Hungary provided 40 MHz of its frequency in the 3500 MHz band to Budapest University of Technology and Economics. The spectrum is suitable for operating an experimental indoor 5G network across the university campus, as well as for creating an open innovation environment and a 5G Laboratory.
Vodafone's position as the sole option in Hungary for 5G services was challenged by Magyar Telekom which also launched commercial 5G services in early April 2020. Since mid-2018, Magyar Telekom has been conducting 5G trials and the first 5G standard station opened at Zalaegerszeg (West Hungary) at the end of January 2019.
