Three network 5G roll out making gains

I know this post is from 2021 but I have noticed this same wording for EE in my town.

"THESE WORKS ARE FOR THE EXCAVATION OF A TRIAL HOLE TO ASSESS THE SUITABILITY OF NEW TELECOMS EQUIPMENT."

Does this mean they are setting up 5G or atleast going to trial it?
Yes sounds like it, in both my cases it was for Three PoW's, so it'll be for an EE/3 monopole likely gameinn. (y)

Hope you have better luck than I did, after both tests the ground was found to be unsuitable in both locations.:(

Best of luck, hope you get future good news. 🤞

Look out for future roadworks. (y)

Assuming it's an existing site, and not to be too much of a party pooper, it's not necessarily going to bring super speeds of n78 5G.

EE are cracking on well with their vendor swapping (Huawei replacement) project and the trial hole could well be just to check the suitability of the land for extra/replacement cabinets for the new vendor radio hardware.
That hardware will very likely be 5G capable but the new radios can be cabled up to the existing antennas with no pole/antenna replacements i.e. no MaMIMO 5G addition (the 5G you really want to get)
