Mobile operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) has today confirmed that they’ve so far deployed “reliable<\/em>” 4G<\/a> based mobile broadband coverage across a total of 50 rural sites in the United Kingdom, which forms part of their commitment under the \u00a31bn industry-led Shared Rural Network<\/a> (SRN) project with the Government.<\/p>\n

In case you forgot, the SRN – supported by a public investment of \u00a3500m<\/strong> and \u00a3532m<\/strong> from all four primary operators (EE<\/a>, O2<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and Three UK<\/a>) – aims to help extend geographic 4G<\/a> coverage to 95% of the UK by the end of 2025 (it will also aid the 5G<\/a> rollout). The scheme involves both the reciprocal sharing of existing masts in certain areas and the demand-led building and sharing of new masts in others.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The SRN states that it will aim to provide guaranteed coverage to an additional 280,000 UK premises, 16,000km of roads and boost \u2018in car\u2019 coverage on around 45,000 km of road, as well as better indoor coverage for around 1.2 million premises.<\/div>\n

However, the 95% coverage target is only when the 4G<\/a> service is available from at least one operator, while the UK coverage forecast for SRN completion for all operators (i.e. geographic areas where you\u2019ll be able to take 4G from all four operators) is actually just 84% for the same date.<\/p>\n

As part of that, O2<\/a> has today confirmed that they’ve delivered 4G connectivity across 50 sites under the SRN – an area covering almost 2,200km2. The village of Helmsdale<\/strong> in Scotland’s Highlands region became the 50th site to benefit from 4G connectivity after they upgraded an existing mast in the area. In fact, some 39 of those 50 sites have all been in Scotland. The other 11 are in eastern parts of England, including rural parts of Yorkshire, Suffolk and Kent.<\/p>\n

The operator has also secured planning consent for works at a further 100 sites, meaning work can start in the near future.<\/p>\n

Jeanie York, CTO of Virgin Media<\/a> O2, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are investing heavily in our network to ensure we\u2019re offering fast and reliable mobile coverage to customers in all parts of the UK. We know many rural communities are unable to access the same level of connectivity as urban areas so we\u2019re committed to delivering improvements through the Shared Rural Network programme.<\/p>\n

Boosting connectivity at 50 sites is a real milestone and means more residents, businesses and tourists in rural areas can benefit from better mobile coverage. In the weeks and months ahead we\u2019ll continue pushing forward with our rural investments, building new masts and upgrading existing ones across various remote UK locations as we work to tackle the urban-rural digital divide.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The news follows shortly after Vodafone<\/a> revealed that its work under the SRN had similarly deployed 4G to 57 rural locations in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland under the programme (here<\/a>). Similarly, EE<\/a> claims to have delivered 4G to over 1,500 remote sites under the same programme (here<\/a>), which they said reflected more than 2,000 square miles (5,180km2) of additional 4G connectivity for rural areas.<\/p>\n
