BT wants to give your mobile signal a major boost

[UK Sentinel]

More than 500 BT small cells aim to boost your mobile signal.

BT has revealed a new initiative to help improve mobile signal across across the UK that will see it partner with local authorities across the country to mount over 500 small cell antennas on lampposts, CCTV columns, and other “street furniture”.

BT, which owns EE, will also use its own assets, including its iconic phone boxes alongside its Street Hub 2.0 units to help improve coverage. The idea is that placing the antenna at street level will work better than installing huge masts elsewhere.

The plan will be carried out in conjunction with local authorities in London, Croydon, Leeds, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Cardiff, Nottingham, Leicester, and others.

5G for all

““Around 200 of the small cells are already live and are helping to boost 4G coverage for EE customers in towns and cities across the UK,” said BT’s Brian More O’Ferrall. “We have worked closely with our local authority partners to utilise their street furniture, as well as our own assets, to improve connectivity in these areas.”
