The Scottish Government<\/a>’s \u00a328.75m 4G<\/a> Infill Programme (S4GI), which is supported by WHP Telecoms and aims to improve rural mobile voice and data (broadband) coverage by building new masts (mostly in the Highlands and Islands), has officially reached the halfway point with 28 masts activated and 27 to go by 2023.<\/p>\n

Mobile operators including EE<\/a>, O2<\/a> (VMO2) and Vodafone<\/a> have already agreed to provide a 4G<\/a> service via many of the new mast sites, although the vast majority of live sites are currently only providing a service via EE<\/a>’s network, while Three UK<\/a> seems to have largely shunned the project. All sites are capable of supporting multiple operators in the future.<\/p>\n

NOTE: <\/strong>S4GI predominantly focuses on extending coverage in areas of no existing signal (“notspots<\/em>“).<\/div>\n

All of this should help to complement the new \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/strong><\/a> (SRN), which aims to extend UK geographic 4G<\/a> mobile coverage to 95% by the end of 2025. Not to mention the 10Mbps+ Universal Service Obligation<\/strong><\/a> (USO) for broadband, which often falls back to a 4G fix.<\/p>\n

Kate Forbes, Scottish Economy Secretary, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Scottish Government<\/a> is helping more residents and workers get online and tackling some of Scotland\u2019s longest standing mobile phone signal black spots.<\/p>\n

“The availability of 4G services has proven transformational for members of these communities, who have taken advantage of new connectivity to enhance how they work, communicate with friends and family, access public services, purchase products and services and consume entertainment.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Government<\/a> wants to build on that, through our National Strategy for Economic Transformation, to capitalise on the ability of enhanced digital connectivity to encourage innovation and growth. We will all need to work together to create a more prosperous, fairer and more sustainable nation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Residents and businesses in Bogton, in Turriff in Aberdeenshire, were the latest to benefit from the programme, which is being supported by a public investment of \u00a317.48m from the Scottish Government and \u00a311.27m from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve pasted in the latest May 2022 edition of the S4GI coverage map below (this hasn’t been updated for June\/July yet).<\/p>\n
