3 Mobile Extends UK 3G Mobile Broadband Coverage to 10000 Sites

Posted: 28th Jan, 2010 By: MarkJ
3 mobile broadband uk coverage map q1 2010Mobile operator Three (3) has activated its 10,000th 3G site as part of a programme to improve and extend their existing UK Mobile Broadband network coverage. The 10,000th site was connected in Shooters Hill, South-East London, bringing better 3G coverage and more capacity to the area. The site officially went online last Friday evening.

The site was added to the network as part of an expansion drive that should see 3's network reach around 13,000 sites in 2010. The 10,000th site brings 3G population (not geographic) coverage to an estimated 92.75% (99.5% for basic voice and text).

Graham Baxter, CTO at 3 UK said:

"Over the past two years the continued growth of internet communications, smartphone use and Mobile Broadband uptake have brought the need for good 3G network coverage into sharp focus for millions of consumers. Our network is already the biggest 3G network in the UK. Now we’re adding new coverage and capacity across the country to meet demand and bring the benefits of 3G to people who’ve never had access in their area before."

3 Mobile is in the process of consolidating its UK 3G network infrastructure with T-Mobile through the Mobile Broadband Network Limited joint venture (i.e. network sharing agreement). The enhanced roll-out sits alongside its new policy designed to better advise people of their coverage opportunities and resolve issues if customers find they do not have coverage at home.
