Temporary masts

O2 put up a temporary mast in my area in February, as the network status said

"our network can get busy in your area"

It was there for 4 months and then O2 took it down

Does this mean that o2 are planning to put up a new permanent mast here, as there is always a lot of congestion here where I live

Why would o2 only put a temporary mast up for so little time if they wasn't.

Thanks
 
Dosent make sense to just have a mast there for 4 months, but when it was there all the congestion here had gone and the network was fine.

Could have just been for performing some tests, or for an interim while another nearby site was being moved (any tall buildings been demolished around that time?)
 
We had this type of behaviour in County Fermanagh during the G8 summit in 2013. They put up lots of temporary equipment, networks were blazing fast, but only lasted a few months and then disappeared. Could there be something seasonal going on like a music festival, conference or event attracting lots of people into the area?

Most likely, one was deployed to cover for any outages while they conducted some key work on the main infrastructure. Temporary masts can also be used to boost capacity during big events.
