Vodafone Upgrade 4G and 5G Mobile at UK Holiday Parks and Nearby Communities

Mobile network operator Vodafone has today announced that they’ve teamed-up with wireless infrastructure provider Freshwave to provide “improved high-speed4G and 5G (mobile broadband) connectivity at Haven’s many holiday parks across Yorkshire, Norfolk and Kent in England, as well as Scotland, North Wales and various coastal communities.

The Primrose Valley Holiday Park, located in Filey, Yorkshire, was the first park to undergo 4G and 5G enhancements earlier this year as part of the new multi-million-pound deal, which was then followed by Kent Coast in Kent, Craig Tara in Scotland, Caister-on-Sea in Norfolk, and Hafan y Mor in North Wales.

The CEO of Freshwave, Simon Frumkin, added that he was “delighted” to be working on the project and that the coverage enhancements they were delivering with Vodafone would also extend mobile connectivity to the communities around the parks. Previously, many of the parks could only access 4G services.

Andrea Donà, Network Director at Vodafone UK, said:

“Our partnership with Haven and Freshwave means our customers are starting to enjoy some of the fastest mobile data speeds in the UK as well as a stronger and more reliable voice signal while enjoying their holiday. Vodafone customers will automatically benefit from superfast access via their mobile phones and devices around the park and inside holiday homes – whether that’s checking emails, streaming their favourite show or staying in touch with loved ones.

At the same time, Haven has the connectivity it needs to support its business applications. We now look forward to working together with Haven to see how the improved coverage can continue supporting both their guests and their business.”

Sadly, the press release doesn’t elaborate on precisely what sort of network setup and upgrades are being delivered, other than to reference general support for 4G and 5G connectivity. But Freshwave are well-known for their use of small cells and neutral host networks, which could mean that these upgrades might not only benefit Vodafone. But for now that’s the only operator being named by Haven itself.

    Reighton Sands just down the road from Primrose Valley gained planning permission last year for a new mast. No signs of installation as of last week though. Suspect loads of sites have planning already.

    It would be nice if they upgraded local towns and city’s as well. This weekend I was in York all weekend. Middle of the city full 5G signal couldn’t get an app or website to load. The place was packed and they didn’t have the capacity. Let’s be honest many towns and cities it’s the same.
