Consumer broadband ISP and mobile operator EE<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has today announced that their ultrafast 5G<\/a> based (mobile broadband) network is expanding into more rural parts of the UK, reaching national parks, seasonal hotspots and over 500 smaller towns and villages. They’re also testing new technologies, such as mobile via LEO satellites.<\/p>\n

At present EE<\/a>’s 5G<\/a> network already covers 60% of the UK’s “population<\/em>” (mostly in urban areas), but they also aim to make it available “anywhere<\/em>” in the UK by 2028 – through a combination of permanent coverage (90% of the UK\u2019s landmass) and on-demand solutions (for the final 10%). The operator typically uses several different radio bands for this, such as 3.4-4GHz, 2100MHz and 700MHz (the deployed bands may differ between mast sites).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> EE<\/a>\u2019s older 4G<\/a> mobile network currently covers 87% of the UK\u2019s landmass and over 99% of the population.<\/div>\n

The change today, which has already started, is that their 5G<\/a> network is now being deployed across more rural and semi-rural areas than before. Nearly 500 smaller communities, including Church Stretton and Birkenshaw in England, Llandeilo and Pen-y-banc (Carmarthenshire) in Wales and Tayport and Ratho in Scotland, now have their first 5G signal from EE. This brings the total number of UK cities, towns and villages where customers can access EE’s 5G to over 1,000.<\/p>\n

As part of the rollout, EE\u2019s 5G is also reaching National Parks and popular rural tourist destinations. Among seasonal hotspots seeing a 5G boost are Berwick-upon-Tweed and Windermere in England, Brecon (Aberhonddu), Dolgellau (Gwynedd) and Narberth (Pembrokeshire) in Wales, and Fort William in Scotland. The Brecon Beacons, Pembrokeshire Coast and The Broads are also named as the first National Parks to be getting the technology.<\/p>\n

In relation to all this, BT<\/a> has also begun testing a range of new technologies, which are intended to help EE boost the range, reliability and energy efficiency of its networks. We don’t get much detail on this, but you can find a simple summary below, and we’ve reported on some of these before.<\/p>\n

BT<\/a> \/ EE’s New Mobile Technology Trials<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u27a4 UK\u2019s first 4G<\/a> sent over low earth orbit satellite<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nBT Group has partnered with OneWeb<\/a> to achieve the first transmission of 4G<\/a> data using a low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite<\/a> link to connect an EE mast to the mobile core network, instead of a traditional line of sight microwave or fibre connection. This paves the way for connecting small ultra-remote communities, emergency responders and disaster recovery units and other temporary deployments like festivals, events or construction sites.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Mobile coverage in harder to reach areas:<\/strong>
\nIn collaboration with Stratospheric Platforms Ltd (SPL), BT Group is running a trial that aims to deliver mobile coverage from the air using a \u2018High Altitude Platform\u2019 (HAPS) system being tested at BT\u2019s Global innovation centre (Adastral Park). This has the potential to unlock connectivity for the most remote areas.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Self-powering sites:<\/strong>
\nEE is weeks away from launching its first self-powering mast using sustainable energy, in Wales\u2019 Elan Valley. Initial assessments demonstrate that local sourced renewable energy (wind and solar) can contribute up to 90% of the site\u2019s requirements.<\/p>\n

\u27a4 Biofuels phase-in:<\/strong>
\nTrials are commencing to test the use of biofuels like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), Biogas and Hydrogen in network generators to support wider resilience. EE will initially implement the solutions as a trial across 20 physical sites.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

EE has also revealed that its older 4G network is “on track to pass 90% of the UK\u2019s geographic landmass by the mid-2020s<\/em>“, thanks in part to the investment made in network infrastructure, which is in line with its commitment under the \u00a31bn industry-led Shared Rural Network<\/strong> (SRN) project with Vodafone<\/a>, Three UK<\/a> and O2<\/a> (VMO2).<\/p>\n

The operator’s 4G network allegedly stretches more than 2,500 square miles further than the nearest challenger, with new 4G coverage added to nearly 50 locations every month over the past three years. The network also expects its landmark 1,500th upgrade under the SRN scheme to occur as early as next month.<\/p>\n

Howard Watson, BT’s Chief Security and Networks officer, aid:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The network rollout progress announced today is a critical step toward meeting our goal of enabling a 5G connection anywhere in the UK by 2028. The strength of our underlying 4G network, thanks in part to improvements made under the Shared Rural Network, has put us in the best position to make widespread 5G coverage improvements outside of big cities. Speaking as a technologist, I\u2019m proud of the way BT Group is applying new innovations to reduce the digital divide.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The only downside to this announcement is that we don’t get a comprehensive list of their rural 5G deployment plans, although naming so many locations could be a bit tedious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
