Mobile operator Vodafone<\/a> has announced that the small village of Devauden in the Wye Valley (Wales) has become the first to receive a faster 4G<\/a> based mobile (mobile broadband) service as part of the new \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/a> (SRN), which aims to help extend geographic 4G<\/a> cover to 95% of the UK by the end of 2025.<\/p>\n

The industry-led scheme, which was finalised in March 2020 and is being supported by a public investment of \u00a3500m<\/strong> from the Government, essentially involves both the reciprocal sharing of existing masts in certain areas and the demand-led building and sharing of new masts in others between all four operators (Vodafone<\/a>, Three UK<\/a>, EE<\/a> [BT<\/a>] and O2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

In simple terms, by working together the operators can help to cut the cost of expanding coverage into rural areas. Meanwhile the SRN is being overseen by a jointly owned company called Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited<\/strong>, which all together should guarantee coverage to 280,000 additional premises and 16,000km of roads.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately Vodafone<\/a> hasn’t provided any details about the exact approach they took in Devauden<\/strong>, but nevertheless it’s nice to see the first bit of progress being made, even if there’s still a very long way to go.<\/p>\n

Nick Jeffery, Vodafone UK CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Everyone should have mobile coverage, and everyone should have the benefit of a choice of networks. It is great that the industry has come together to improve coverage across the UK, and I\u2019m proud that we\u2019re leading the way. Our engineering team has done a great job in getting our coverage on to this site, despite the limitations of lockdown.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Matt Warman, UK Digital Infrastructure Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Residents and businesses in Devauden will soon be getting better mobile coverage as it becomes the first village to benefit from our \u00a31 billion deal with mobile phone companies to banish rural \u2018not spots\u2019 for good. Our world-leading Shared Rural Network will bring high-quality 4G<\/a> coverage to 95 per cent of the UK by 2025 and means people will benefit from a good signal wherever they live, work or travel.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One issue we do have is with the lack of communication about which specific areas are likely to benefit and when. In the fixed line broadband sector operators tend to announce when upgrades or new deployments are due to take place, while mobile operators are sadly fairly coy with such information. But we expect more from a programme that involves so much public funding.<\/p>\n
