VODAFONE ANNOUNCES AGREEMENT WITH OPERA SOFTWARE TO ENHANCE MOBILE INTERNET
EXPERIENCE ON HANDSETS

Vodafone has signed an agreement with Opera Software to develop a custom-made version of the mobile browser Opera Mini aimed at giving customers with low and mid priced handsets a high quality mobile internet experience on the go.

Opera Mini will be available in Vodafone markets across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Africa. The browser is particularly appealing to customers in developing countries who are likely to experience the internet for the first time through a mobile phone. It allows them to browse the internet on the go even on Java low cost mobile handsets.

Vodafone customers will benefit from the ability to enjoy the full web-browsing functionality on Java mobile phones as well as an icon-based display that is easy to personalise. In addition, customers will be able to take advantage of an easy zoom in and out feature which automatically fits the mobile screen and on selected handsets the ability to view video content from popular sites such as YouTube.

At the same time, web pages are compressed by up to 90 per cent before being sent to the customer’s handset, which means that browsing is fast even in areas of relatively low network speeds. As a result, the handset is able to devote more of its resources to giving the user a high quality browsing experience.

In early trials in Vodafone Egypt, more than 400,000 customers downloaded the product in a month.

As part of the global framework agreement with Opera Software, selected Vodafone operating companies will be able to pre-embed the Vodafone version of the Opera Mini browser on Java-based portfolio handsets or encourage customers to download it themselves.

“We are confident that the agreement with Opera Software will help to ensure that customers will be able to enjoy an even more fulfilling mobile internet experience on their handsets” said Pieter Knook, Vodafone Internet Services Director.

“The agreement between Vodafone and Opera empowers more people around the world to benefit from a fast and user-friendly mobile internet experience,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Opera Software.

VODAFONE RAMPS UP HSPA+ TO DELIVER PEAK SPEEDS IN EXCESS OF 20MBPS IN TRIALS

Vodafone has trialled a 3G HSPA+ mobile broadband connection that delivers maximum(1) download speeds in excess of 20 Mbps in a test environment.

Vodafone achieved one of the fastest 3G data connections currently possible during field trials of the HSPA+ MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) technology on Vodafone Spain’s network in southern Spain and Madrid city centre. The trials were carried out using technology supplied by Ericsson, Huawei and Qualcomm Inc.

The initial test results have confirmed HSPA+ MIMO technology as a good candidate for delivering an enhanced mobile broadband experience in hotspots such as business districts and airports, where customers are offered higher data rates in line with demand.

Earlier this year Vodafone announced the successful trial of “HSPA+ 64QAM” technology which delivered peak speeds of 16 Mbps in a test environment and has been found to be particularly suitable for suburban and rural locations. In this latest trial, Vodafone has further boosted network performance though the introduction of MIMO technology. MIMO technology effectively uses two antennas in both the handset and the base station to split the radio signal into two separate streams enhancing network capacity as well as the user experience even in dense urban environments.

“Breaking the 20Mbps peak speed barrier in tests through HSPA+ MIMO is yet another key milestone in the evolution of 3G Mobile Broadband technology and raises the prospect of higher network performance for our customers in selected hotspots,” said Andy MacLeod, Global Networks Director of Vodafone. “These test results mean that we will be able to derive even more value from our existing 3G infrastructure while raising the quality of service for our customers.”

Both 64QAM and MIMO features require new HSPA+ mobile broadband devices. Vodafone is working with its device vendors on the trialing, testing and validation of these devices ready for commercial availability.

HSPA+ technology is the next evolutionary step in the (3G) HSPA roadmap. It significantly enhances performance through the use of a more advanced modulation technique called 64QAM as well as through the use of multiple antennas on both base stations and data devices (MIMO).

Vodafone is now looking at advancing the HSPA+ roadmap still further through investigating Dual Carrier-HSPA, which uses the aggregation of two adjacent radio channels to further enhance the customer’s experience.

At present, Vodafone mobile broadband customers can download data and surf the net at speeds of up to a theoretical peak rate of 7.2 Mbps, experiencing an unparalleled mobile experience.

Editors’ Notes

1The maximum download speed reflects the highest instantaneous data rate as seen by the customer during a download in optimum conditions in a test environment. In a real network, customer experience will depend on additional factors such as the distance the customer is from a base station, the actual cell load during peak hours as well as network design and performance enhancement techniques.

The maximum practical peak data rate is at least 25% lower than the maximum theoretical rate due to a minimum overhead margin. This is the minimum overhead necessary for operation in a live network. Peak rates are also determined by the corresponding device capability.

HSPA+ technology (HSPA Evolution) refers to a set of technology enhancements predominantly driven by the 3GPP Release 7 standard that support the evolution of HSPA towards higher user throughput and improved packet service experience.

Dual Carrier HSPA refers to a new standardized feature by the 3GPP Release 8 standard that combines two HSDPA or HSPA+ 64QAM adjacent carriers into a single user transmission.

VODAFONE TO BOOST BACKHAUL CAPACITY WITH NEW MICROWAVE TECHNOLOGY

Vodafone is trialling new microwave technology that is set to quadruple current backhaul capacity in channelling voice and data traffic away from base stations while enhancing performance and quality of service levels for customers.

Vodafone has carried out a series of trials investigating the potential of Ethernet microwave which is capable of greatly enhancing the performance of existing microwave backhaul technology.

Under current estimates, the upgrade from typical microwave backhaul technology to Ethernet microwave backhaul technology is capable of raising peak capacity from around 32 Mbps to around 180 Mbps using the same frequency range.

The Ethernet-based point-to-point technology is also designed to support IP based traffic from the Radio Access Network by deploying an adaptive modulation technique that increases throughput, decreases latency while improving quality of service levels for customers.

As the performance boost is based on upgrading the cheaper electronics in the cabinet rather than the more expensive microwave dish itself, the move also offers cost efficiencies.

“As Radio Access Networks are upgraded to reflect growing demand for mobile broadband services, it is important to ensure that the backhaul is able to deliver on that potential,” said Andy MacLeod, Global Network Director of Vodafone. “The trials show that Microwave Ethernet technology can play a role in maintaining high levels of mobile broadband performance for our customers through adopting a holistic approach to maintaining service levels.”

The technology is expected to be commercially available from the end of 2009.

The initiative forms part of Vodafone’s Backhaul Evolution Programme designed to boost network efficiency and offer customers unparalleled levels of network performance. As well as replacing leased lines with more cost effective Microwave technology, the programme has seen Vodafone deploy both fibre and DSL to base stations in areas with particularly high demand for capacity.

The move comes as Vodafone continues to upgrade its Radio Access Networks to match growing demand for mobile broadband services, made more popular through the rise in sales of data dongles and attractive bundles offering more value for money.

Vodafone has already deployed hotspots offering peak theoretical speeds of 7.2 Mbps in selected countries across its global networks to ensure that customers are getting the performance they require.

Vodafone recently announced ongoing trials of HSPA+ technology achieving peak data download rates of up to 20 Mbps.

VODAFONE TRIALS NEW PRODUCT WHICH AIMS TO BOOST MOBILE COVERAGE IN HOMES AND SMALL
OFFICES

Vodafone is trialling a new product designed to improve 3G mobile signals in areas of homes and offices which may have lower levels of network coverage.

Trials are currently underway in a number of Vodafone markets to assess the potential of the new product.

The product is based on technology which consists of a powered booster box connected to a small antenna that amplifies existing 3G signals from the wide area network to offer enhanced reception over a range of up to 9 metres.

The antenna is positioned where the mobile 3G network signal is strongest, either inside or outside the home or office and the booster is located inside where an improved signal is required.

During initial trials in Vodafone Egypt, users reported improvements in network performance including enhanced voice call reception and improved 3G data speeds within parts of the building which had previously only been able to offer low coverage levels.

“The trials are part of Vodafone’s ongoing commitment to develop new and innovative ways to enhance our customers’ mobile experience.” said Global Networks Director Andy MacLeod. “This product may help to improve performance in areas where customers may experience isolated spots of low coverage within the home or small office. Initial results are encouraging and we are now looking to get wider feedback from a broader set of customers.”

The product differs from a femtocell in that it strengthens the signal from the existing network rather than creating a new dedicated coverage zone. Vodafone is looking at both technologies to see how they can each meet the individual needs of customers.

In December, Vodafone Spain announced a pilot of femtocell technology with Vodafone Access Gateway. These access gateways connect 3G devices to the core network via broadband DSL and the pilot scheme was rolled out to a limited number of enterprise customers to assess its effectiveness in delivering wireless high-speed data and voice services.

CHINA MOBILE, VERIZON WIRELESS AND VODAFONE TRIALS CONFIRM LTE AS A NEXT GENERATION CANDIDATE FOR SEAMLESS GLOBAL MOBILE SERVICES

China Mobile, Verizon Wireless, a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone, and Vodafone announce that they have taken significant steps in developing the next-generation technology LTE as a truly global radio access technology, following yesterday’s LTE FDD/TDD Convergence Summit at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

As part of their ongoing three-way trials, the operators have successfully demonstrated in laboratory conditions the time division version of LTE (TD-LTE) showing that the technology is capable of operating effectively in both unpaired as well as paired spectrum.

In addition to these initial results, a range of chipset suppliers including ST-Ericsson and Qualcomm are developing equipment capable of supporting both Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) flavours of the LTE technology in a single device.

The trials are a step towards the goal of developing a single device capable of operating on TD-LTE technology in the case of unpaired spectrum or LTE FDD technology in the case of paired spectrum

The availability of a converged LTE FDD and TD-LTE system is set to enable an effective solution for both paired and unpaired spectrum. This also raises the prospect of providing greater interoperability between different global operators offering customers greater levels of convenience.

The TD-LTE portion of the trial, which involves seven vendors, will progress to full field trials in the second half of 2009. The locations for these field trials have been agreed in China, Europe and India.

The corresponding LTE FDD trials are progressing as planned and are now well into the final field trial stages where peak download speeds of up to 50 to 60 Mbps using 10 MHz bandwidth have been demonstrated. These field trials, which will also be introduced for the TD-LTE trials, create real-world loaded network conditions by using multiple base stations and terminal devices.

LTE’s potential as a flexible global technology with a strong eco-system was the core theme presented at yesterday’s LTE FDD/TDD Convergence Summit. The event attended by regulators, operators and vendors, was jointly hosted by China Mobile, Verizon Wireless and Vodafone with an endorsement from the GSMA and TD Alliance.

LTE technology is designed to deliver a range of customer benefits including higher speeds and enhanced throughput performance and lower latency thanks to improved spectral efficiency.

LTE is an evolution of existing 3G (WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and CDMA) cellular networks and has the advantage of offering inter-working with existing 3G technologies.

In accordance with Disclosure and Transparency Rule 3.1.4R(1), I have to inform you of the following changes in share interests of directors and persons discharging managerial responsibilities (“PDMRs”) of the Company:

(1)         Conditional awards of shares were granted on 12 February 2009 by the Company in accordance with the Vodafone Global Incentive Plan. The vesting of these awards is conditional on continued employment with the Vodafone Group and the satisfaction of a performance condition approved by the Remuneration Committee. The performance measure is based on free cash flow performance with a multiplier that is based on comparative total shareholder return (TSR) performance. The free cash flow performance is based on a three year cumulative adjusted cash flow figure. The target free cash flow level is set by reference to the Company’s three year plan and market expectations, 12.5% of the award will vest for target performance, rising further to 50% vesting for maximum performance. The multiplier is based on the TSR of Vodafone Group Plc over the three year performance period 1 April 2008 to 31 March 2011 relative to a peer group of five companies within the European Telecoms sector as well as one emerging market composite. There will be no increase in vesting until TSR performance exceeds median, at which point the multiplier will increase up to two on a linear basis for upper quintile performance. The maximum vesting is 100% for maximum free cash flow performance (50%) and maximum TSR performance (multiplier of 2). For further details of the Plan, please see page 74 of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report, available at www.vodafone.com.

(2)         PDMRs who participate in the Vodafone Global Incentive Plan are subject to the Company’s share ownership guidelines, which provide that they will acquire and maintain a minimum level of shareholding equivalent to two times salary.
