Vodafone unveils largest 4G

international roaming network

Vodafone New Zealand has

announced it will switch on 4G international roaming later

this year, allowing its customers to be the first to

experience superfast access to Vodafone networks in NZ,

Australia, the UK and Europe.

From winter 2014, consumers

and business customers travelling overseas will be able to

take advantage of 4G mobile services when using their

smartphones and tablets in 18 countries worldwide.

Matt

Williams, Vodafone’s Consumer Director, says 4G is great

for travellers, whether they are on business or on

holiday.

“Much faster, simpler to use and more

convenient than typical hotel WiFi connections, 4G will give

our customers high-speed connections for video, music

streaming, web surfing, working and much more – anywhere,

from the airport to the café.

“In New Zealand, 4G is

already transforming the way Kiwis live, work and play, and

now – only with Vodafone – this will be possible for

Kiwis when they travel.”

Enterprise Director, Grant

Hopkins says the company’s advantage is due to being

connected to one of the world’s largest mobile companies.

“Vodafone New Zealand is in an enviable position, with

the largest global network at its fingertips – and

therefore at the fingertips of its customers.

“Our

customers are among the most mobile in the world; among the

fastest adopters of new technology; and among the biggest

travellers globally. To extend access so customers can

continue to enjoy superfast speeds internationally is a

natural next step.”

Vodafone Group in the UK already

offers 4G roaming on its own networks in Greece, Italy,

Portugal, Romania and Spain. Between now and the end of

2014, Vodafone would launch 4G roaming in Australia,

Germany, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Africa, and the

UK. In addition, Vodafone customers will be able to use 4G

networks of other telecommunications companies in Austria,

Belgium, France, Japan, Singapore, South Korea and

Switzerland.

The addition of 4G roaming is another

enhancement to the Vodafone

SuperNet™.
