BT Group PLC (BT.A.LN) said Tuesday that its EE brand will launch 5G services within 16 U.K. cities next year, starting in London, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Belfast, Birmingham and Manchester.

The British telecommunications company said it will first build a 5G network to cover the busiest parts of those six cities. Later in the year, 5G services will also be introduced across ten more U.K. cities, BT said.

BT said EE is currently trialing live 5G in Canary Wharf and parts of east London.
