Tackling the UK’s rural mobile coverage problem

From ‘Inside-out’ to ‘Outside-in’

Download ‘Tackling the UK’s rural mobile coverage problem’ Whitepaper

The UK is facing a longstanding industry problem of poor rural mobile coverage. Even in much of the rural fringe, mobile coverage is either sparse or absent altogether.

Will the upcoming 700MHz spectrum auction resolve this?

It depends.

Many seem to think this spectrum is fundamental to solving the rural coverage problem. But would the auction winners use their new spectrum to tackle the rural fringe problem – or to improve their existing 4G coverage in dense urban areas?

Even if the Government attaches coverage obligations, it’s still a monumental task to make a big dent in the 9% of the UK that has no service.

This whitepaper looks at how UK MNOs can work with each other and the Government to implement a resolution surrounding a Rural Neutral Host Mobile Network. It could be an ideal outcome for all stakeholders involved.
