Apply to have a mobile phone mast installed

[Kerrypeck]

Hi, 

Wanting to find out how a small business would go about appyling to have a phone mast installed on private land? 

[Ray_P]

Leanne,

No we don’t but the local land owner is supportive of something going on his land which is a positive.

Thx, Ray

[Ray_P]

Hi Leanne - we don’t but the local land

owner is supportive as that would benefit too. Geographically the villiage is in a bowl & not covered by any network which brings its challenges especially in an emergency.

Thanks very much for coming back to me @Ray_P 

We would need the land owner to get in touch if they're interested in offering the land to us, so we can take some details and pass these over to the relevant team.

Thanks 🙂

Leanne.

Leanne- can you send me some direct contact details for yourselves please & I will pass these on. Thanks for you help with this.

Hey @Ray_P 😊

Like @Leanne_T mentioned, we would recommend that the land owner contact us directly. 

We'll then be able to reach out to them for their details so we have these on file for consideration.

Peter

Peter - like I mentioned in the reply to Leanne, can I get some direct contact details for the team to pass to the landowners rather than owners.

DM or in here is good, then I can pass this info in a more professional manner rather than asking them to join a forum.

Thanks

You'll just get into a very circular & repeating argument, next is expansion driven by network need and that drives locations, where they just expect you to use WiFi even though outdoor signal is none existent and they have no way to monitor that.

They don't want a list of sites, even though that would be a sensible response to placate everyone as signal will get worse once 2g is turned off without additional 4/5g infrastructure.

No customer is expected to use WiFi for outdoor coverage. Mobile network coverage is always preferred to WiFi, but WiFi does provide mitigation against no indoor coverage.

Coverage is largely dictated by the frequency band, not the radio access technology (or "G" in popular parlance)

EE's 4G coverage has exceeded 2G for many years now, not because of the "G" but because of low-band spectrum. Other networks have a different radio design.

[GMaull]

Well they expect me and all my neighbours to use WiFi whilst at home, outside their own front doors the 4g signal is laughable at best.

Think you might need to read up there as the higher the g the less coverage per station.

They turned off 3G and it got worse, 2G is already on borrowed time once the police stop using it.

4/5G actually requires more base stations due to the frequency being higher the distance becomes less.
