Digital Mobile Spectrum Limited<\/a> (DMSL), which represents the four major UK mobile operators (EE<\/a>, O2<\/a>, Vodafone<\/a> and Three UK<\/a>), has today confirmed that 10 more government-funded rural 4G<\/a> (mobile broadband) mast upgrades have just gone live in Scotland as part of the industry-led \u00a31bn Shared Rural Network<\/a> (SRN) project.<\/p>\n

The SRN \u2013 supported by \u00a3501m<\/strong> of public funding and \u00a3532m<\/strong> of private investment from operators \u2013 involves both the reciprocal sharing of existing masts in certain areas and the demand-led building and sharing of new masts in others between the operators. The target is to extend geographic 4G<\/a> coverage (aggregate) to 95% of the UK by the end of 2025 (5G<\/a> will also benefit from the new infrastructure).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The target varies between regions, thus 4G<\/a> cover from at least one operator is expected to reach 98% in England, 91% in Scotland, 95% in Wales and 98% in N.Ireland. But this falls to 90% in England, 74% in Scotland, 80% in Wales and 85% in N.Ireland when looking at coverage from all MNOs combined.<\/div>\n

Most of the early work on this project has typically involved private investment from the main mobile network operators, although over the past year or so we\u2019ve also seen government-funded mast upgrades and new site builds taking place in other parts of the country (examples here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). A total of 39 mast upgrades have now gone live across the UK, including the 10 announced today in Scotland.<\/p>\n

The latest 10 mast upgrades mean that residents, local businesses and community organisations in areas including Tobermory and Aros on the Isle of Mull<\/strong> can now take advantage of better connectivity, which adds to the coverage enhancements already made to parts of Ayrshire, Dumfries and Galloway, the Borders and Argyll and Bute. The activations bring coverage from all 4 mobile network operators to nearly 200,000m of roads across Scotland.<\/p>\n

The work focused on the part of the SRN that sees the government (DSIT) providing a total of \u00a3184m from their pot to the Home Office and mobile network operators, which is helping to upgrade Extended Area Service<\/strong> (EAS) masts being built as part of the 4G Emergency Services Network<\/strong> (ESN) \u2013 these masts previously only connected EE<\/a> customers and anyone making 999 calls (all operators can now use them).<\/p>\n

Ben Roome, CEO of DMSL, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSince March 2020, when the Shared Rural Network was announced, 4G coverage from all four operators in Scotland has expanded by over 18,000 square kilometres, more than an area the size of Perth and Kinross, Argyll and Bute and the Scottish Borders combined. This programme will continue to improve 4G service for people in rural areas as more shared mobile sites go live.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Scottish Secretary, Ian Murray, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cPowered by UK Government investment, 10 mast upgrades are now providing fast and reliable mobile internet access in rural areas in Scotland. This is a crucial upgrade that will help to improve connectivity \u2013 from business to tourism, and particularly to ensure that emergency services can be contacted quickly when they are needed. This is an important step and a key part of our Plan for Change for economic growth right across Scotland.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Since the SRN programme began in 2020, an additional 34,000 square kilometres \u2013 an area equivalent to roughly double the size of Northern Ireland \u2013 are now receiving 4G coverage from all four operators across the UK. Through the SRN programme, the UK government and mobile network operators aim to provide 4G coverage to an additional 280,000 premises and 16,000km of the UK\u2019s roads.<\/p>\n

Ofcom<\/a>\u2019s most recent Connected Nations 2024<\/a> report revealed that 4G coverage, where it is available from at least one mobile operator, has now reached 95% of the UK\u2019s landmass (delivering early on one of the key targets for the SRN programme), with 4G geographic coverage across individual MNOs in the UK rising from a range of 80-87% last year to 88-89% this year.<\/p>\n

Just for some extra context. The SRN includes two key targets. The first involves the delivery of industry funded coverage improvements in Partial Not-Spot<\/strong> (PNS) areas (i.e. areas that receive coverage from at least one operator, but not all), which Ofcom<\/a> said was hit last year (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The second target involves tackling Total Not-Spot<\/strong> (TNS) areas by early 2027. Just to be clear, Ofcom<\/a>\u2019s licence obligations commit each individual operator to increase its 4G coverage to 88% of the UK\u2019s landmass by June 2024 \u2013 rising to 90% by January 2027 \u2013 with these individual obligations supporting the overall target of 95% by December 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
