Coverage in Newhaven

[Leanne_T]

Update: 07 November 2025

Over the past few weeks, the power company has accessed the site and installed the power supply needed for the new mast. We are working with the Fibre company to arrange a date to complete the transmission and start integrating the mast onto the network. Once we have a date for the transmission to be completed, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast. 

We will keep you updated on this post.

Update: 18 September 2025

Over the past few months, our engineers have accessed the area and completed building the equipment needed for the new mast. We are working with the power company to install the power supply needed for the new mast. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect the work to start by the beginning of October. 

Once the power supply has been installed, we can arrange a date for the Fibre provider to access the area to install the leased line needed to provide transmission to the site and confirm an approximate on-air date.

Over the past few months, the legal negotiations have completed successfully and we have legally acquired the land from the site provider. Our engineers have started planning the build for the equipment. Barring any unforeseen delays, we expect the build to complete by the beginning of September. Once the build has completed, we can confirm an approximate on-air date for the new mast.

Update: 10 January 2025

Over the past few months, for the first location, our engineers have started legal steps to legally acquire the land from the site provider. Pending a positive outcome from the legal negotiations, we can start building the equipment needed for the permanent mast and confirm an approximate on-air date.

For the second location (which we have located as a back-up, in case of any unforeseen problems with the first location), our engineers are completing surveys and designs to make sure the area will be suitable for the equipment Pending a positive outcome from the surveys, we can start legal proceedings to acquire the land from the landowner and start building the equipment needed for the new mast.

We are aware of a signal issue that is affecting some of our customers in the Newhaven area. Our mast had to be removed in April 2024, as this was requested by the landowner. 

Our engineers began looking for a new location as soon as we were made aware our equipment had to be removed. We have located two potential areas for a new mast and are currently conducting surveys to make sure the locations will be suitable for the equipment. 

Pending a positive outcome from the surveys, we can start legal steps to legally acquire the land from the site provider and start building the equipment needed for the new mast.
