The industry-led SRN programme aims to extend UK geographic 4G mobile coverage to 95% by the end of 2025 (91% in Scotland) via a mix of mast sharing and new deployments. By comparison, the S4GI holds a separate, but related, goal of extending 4G infrastructure and services in up to 55 mobile &#8220;<em>notspots<\/em>&#8221; across rural and remote parts of Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>The announcement of the new collaboration is a bit vague, but we assume the different projects have simply worked together to rationalise their respective deployments and avoid duplication. Upgrade works have already been completed at a mobile site in <strong>Traquair<\/strong> and a new mast has been built at <strong>Balmacara<\/strong> \u2013 both of which now host 4G network equipment from <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-68\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/o2uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"o2\">O2<\/a> and <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-90\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vodafoneuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"vodafone\">Vodafone<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The latest rollout is technically part of a commitment to the SRN programme, although it follows similar upgrades at other sites, such as New Luce (Dumfries and Galloway) and Ettrick (Scottish Borders), where both O2 and Vodafone have recently boosted coverage in partnership with the <a class=\"shortlink shortlink-142\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/scotgov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"\" title=\"Scottish Government\">Scottish Government<\/a>&#8217;s S4GI programme (supported by WHP Telecoms and Scottish Futures Trust).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Ivan McKee MSP, Business Minister, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is great news and will be welcomed by the local communities.
