Mobile operator O2<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a>) has today announced that they\u2019ve so far switched-on their next-generation 5G<\/a> Standalone (5GSA \/ 5G<\/a>+) mobile broadband network across 66 large towns and cities, 175 smaller towns, and 1,120 villages in Scotland as part of its UK-wide rollout. A total of over 4 million people and businesses now have access in the country.<\/p>\n

The new 5G<\/a>+ network is now live across an overall total of more than 700 locations (over 70% of the UK\u2019s population). The technology offers a pure end-to-end 5G network that can deliver ultra-low latency times, greater energy efficiency, better speeds (particularly uploads), network slicing, improved support for IoT devices, increased reliability and security etc. By comparison, early 5G networks used a Non-Standalone (NSA) approach, which was hobbled by being partly reliant upon older and slower 4G<\/a> infrastructure.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The upgrades are part of O2<\/a>\u2019s wider \u00a3700 million Mobile Transformation Plan.<\/div>\n

O2<\/a>\u2019s 5GSA rollout first began in February 2024 (here<\/a>) and aims to reach \u201cat least 90% outdoor coverage<\/em>\u201d in every location they reach. The operator’s rollout across Scotland includes: Aberdeenshire, Angus, Argyll & Bute, Ayrshire, Clackmannanshire, Dumfries & Galloway, Dunbartonshire, East Lothian, Edinburgh City, Fife, Glasgow City, The Highlands, Lanarkshire, Midlothian, Moray, Perth & Kinross, Renfrewshire, Scottish Borders, Stirlingshire, West Lothian, Oban, Rothesay, North Berwick, Thurso, Fort William, Aviemore, Strathaven, Lossiemouth, Kinross, Pitlochry and Dunblane.<\/p>\n

Alongside the 5G+ rollout, O2 has also deployed Small Cells<\/strong> (i.e. mini short range base stations) in some of Scotland\u2019s busiest urban areas to boost mobile capacity and performance in high-demand locations such as transport hubs and city centres. A total of 18 small cells have been deployed in Glasgow, alongside 6 in Perth and 7 will shortly be going live in Edinburgh, including a site outside the Scottish Parliament.<\/p>\n

Professor Robert Joyce, O2’s Director of Mobile Access Engineering, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the biggest cities to regional towns and rural communities, this upgrade will help people across Scotland stay connected wherever they live, work or travel.<\/p>\n

Combined with innovations like O2 Satellite<\/a> which has connected huge areas that traditionally had no phone signal, and investment from our Mobile Transformation Plan, we\u2019re strengthening connectivity across the country and ensuring customers get a faster, more reliable mobile experience.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
