It's the network to which your phone connects.

It gives you that signal and it gives you the ability to be able to browse and do whatever you want to do on your phone.

And do they need updating all the time?

Yeah, it's in the same way that phones are updated, the technology in the networks are updated to keep pace.

So you get higher speeds, you get better connectivity, and it's better for the consumer, basically.

Our apps are, they're automated, they're basically AI software in the network itself that helps the network to perform better.

It also helps it to save power and has sustainability built into it, which turns the network into low power, medium power and high power as needed.

And it has many other parts to it as well.

It basically is a piece of software that actually helps the networks to give you a signal better.

Standalone is really a new part of 5G that will be deployed in Ireland.

It will provide connectivity, guaranteed connectivity.

One of the cool examples of it is

If you're in a stadium and in the middle of a game and the game is quite busy, you can buy what they call a standalone piece of connectivity from the operator, from Vodafone in this case, and then you will be guaranteed a connection in the stadium.

So your phone, your browsing, your photographs, your social media can all happen as a priority over other people.

Yeah, we also work with Air in Ireland and with 3 in Ireland.

So we worked with Air since 1957.

We came here very early.

Wow.

Well before mobile phones.

Not that kid isn't around anymore, but we also work with three locally in the market providing many of the same technologies.
