Mobile network operator O2<\/a> (VMO2) and IaaS provider Ontix have worked together to boost the provider’s 4G<\/a> mobile (mobile broadband) capacity across the busiest parts of the UK’s second-largest city, which began after they started deploying their latest small cells into the area.<\/p>\n

Just to recap. Shoebox sized small cells are like mini mobile base stations, which have been designed to deliver limited coverage (usually up to around 80-120 metres) and thus tend to be more focused on busy urban areas or specific sites. As a result, it\u2019s not uncommon to find these sitting on top of lampposts, CCTV poles or old payphone cubicles (i.e. they can be more cost-effective than building new street assets or trying to secure wayleaves on buildings etc.), which is roughly what has happened in Birmingham too.<\/p>\n

The first sites are now live in Bath Row and Islington Row, improving network capacity for the busy commuters arriving at the Five Ways station, which receives over 1 million visitors annually, and for the thousands who spend time at the markets and events in Edgbaston Village each year.<\/p>\n

Paul Kells, VMO2’s Senior Director for Network Strategy & Engineering, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the largest small cell network of any major operator in the UK, we understand how effective they can be in boosting local network capacity in busy areas.<\/p>\n

With upgrade programmes underway right across our network, we\u2019re working hard to ensure our customers consistently receive an exceptional network experience wherever they are and even at the busiest times.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

More deployments are now being planned for the “coming months<\/em>” in other key areas of the city centre, such as around Broad Street and the heart of the business quarter on Snow Hill Queensway. The work is being supported by Birmingham City Council and WM5G, who signed an Open Access Agreement with Ontix that gave them permission to deploy small cells onto assets from a base of over 90,000 streetlights throughout the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
