5G is the new frontier of mobile connectivityIn fact, it allows you to connect at speeds close to those of an FTTH fiber (1 Gb/s) and offers superior stability. The jump compared to 4G and 4,5 G is decidedly important, connection speeds on average have increased between 10 and 15 times and latency also decreases.
5G technology is not yet widespread in the country, operators are adapting their antennas. to date the 5G coverage It is present especially in large cities and large population centers. If you already have a smartphone compatible with the new networks and want to test the benefits, you need to look for a place that is already covered.
On this page you will find all the ways to check 5G coverage and find out if the new 5G mobile network technology is now available in your area.
The best places to check 5G coverage
First we decided to show you the independent portals and then the dedicated pages of the operators. We hope that independent portals are more impartial and, therefore, capable of providing information that is more in line with reality.
You will notice that to date there are few sites indicating the presence of 5G antennas and related coverage, but they are destined to increase with the spread of this interesting technology. We will try to keep this article updated with any news on the matter.
After this preamble we can move on to the list of sites:
The nPerf map to check 5G coverage
Is one of the More detailed maps available globally to check 5G coverage, the map comes often updated and not only informs the antennas present in our territory, but also those of foreign states.
The service is very reliable because it is based on data collected by users using the nPerf app on their smartphones to test network quality and speed (this is a valid speed test).
If you also want to contribute, you can download the free application for Android from the Play Store and for iOS from the App Store.
Returning to the map, at this address you can find the nPerf 5G coverage map, to see the antennas in our territory you will obviously have to zoom in on our peninsula.
The speedtest.net map to check 5G coverage
This map to verify the 5G coverage, is based on the speed of tests carried out by people, a great way to know in your area, how fast people browse on average
To improve the accuracy of this map, you can also contribute a test in your area by downloading the app for Android from the Play Store and for iOS from the App Store for free.
By clicking on the link below "5G Speed Test Coverage Map", you can see the distribution of connection speeds in our area. To get a better look at your area, you can zoom in with a simple mouse scroll.
The5g.it coverage map
This map is less reliable compared to the previous one why not It is based in automatic detections but simply in user reports.
For this reason, this map should be taken with caution, a user could report that an antenna is being tested or turned off, or simply confuse a 4G antenna with a 5G one.
Also, being based on reports, many antennas are missing.
Taking into account its intrinsic limitations, you can find the map on the cover5g.it website.
The map of Vodafone's 5G antennas
The well-known operator was the first to launch the 5G service in our country, and also launched a special and comfortable page with an interactive map showing the current coverage of the Vodafone 5G network.
On the indicated page, to see the 5G coverage, it is necessary to press the dedicated button. The map is not the most precise since only the municipalities covered by the sign are indicated..
Network coverage can also be checked through the Vodafone app for Android and iOS, going to the menu and then to the “Coverage Maps” section, a map will appear, you can click on a point (our position or another) and See which network you are reaching from.
Windtre 5G antenna map
WindTre also has its own map with 5G coverage available, available at the link we just mentioned.
At the top you can enter your city or address to check the coverage in your area and immediately below select the type of coverage to check between "2G Network", "3G+ 4G LTE Network" and "5G Network".
Even if the proprietary WindTre app is not available, we recommend installing an app that checks which direction the nearest repeater is located. This application is called OpenSignal and is available for both Android and iOS.
TIM does not provide its own map and is currently limited to 4G
Unfortunately, despite already having its 5G antennas in some cities, the company does not currently provide a map of TIM's 5G coverage.
If you consult (at the time of writing this article) the network coverage map available at this address you will notice that it stops at 4G Plus and the option for 5G is missing. Regarding the new connection, there is only a promotional page that talks about some cities (Rome, Milan, Turin, Naples, Florence, Genoa, Bologna, Brescia, San Remo, Ferrara, Livigno, Cortina, Selva di Val Gardena).
Iliad starts with its 5G in February 2021
The well-known low-cost operator has already launched its own convenient offer based on the new connectivity and announced the first cities where it will be available from February 2021.
The cities participating in the launch are sufficiently numerous, although they only cover a small fraction of the peninsula's inhabitants.
As of today, as is quite understandable, there is no Iliad map of 5G coverage, it is likely that it will be updated on the official website on the page where the coverage of the Iliad network in Spanish territory is indicated.
