If you're 5G-curious, Vodafone is offering visitors to Wellington Airport a free spin on the new mobile technology today, and over the next week.
Tony Baird, Vodafone New Zealand Technology Director, explains: "We wanted to give travellers the chance to try out our live 5G network before we officially switch it on across parts of the country. This free trial to test 5G over wi-fi will enable passengers to download their favourite content at super-fast speeds."

People will be able to connect to the internet at speeds of up to 500 megabits per second - or five times the speed of the average UFB Fibre landline - in what will be the first time 5G has been offered at an NZ airport.
"We are proud to be the first provider to open up 5G for anyone to test, and are looking forward to turning on our commercial 5G network very soon," Baird says.
