- VMO2 will attack very populated and rural areas with new investments
- The company will start the old technology and will adopt new technologies
- Will he provide the “higher mobile network” he is considering?
Virgin Media O2 has announced a new commitment to invest 700 million pounds Sterling throughout 2025 to improve the reliability, speed and coverage of mobile networks – the equivalent of 2 million pounds sterling every day.
The company said additional investments have come in response to network demand reaching a record level in the United Kingdom and will focus on mass congregation areas and transport links such as stadiums, city centers, railways and main roads.
New masts, small cells and upgrades to its 4G and 5G infrastructure will constitute the basis of investments, but the company also plans to use automation to “[provide] Customers with higher mobile network experience. »»
In addition to stimulating the signal in areas densely populated with small cells, Virgin Media O2 has also revealed plans to fight against “ non points ” in rural and coastal areas with even more 4G and 5G coverage.
The advantage of the existing market position of the company is that it can benefit from its wired network to increase its cellular network – VMO2 will use its own network of fibers to connect mobile sites more quickly in the hope that it can deploy a new mobile infrastructure.
In difficult to access areas, it will even use satellite technology to connect towers, which says more profitable to tackle points from a distance and not to points.
“We are not just upgrading of infrastructure; We create a platform for future innovation. This program guarantees that our customers will continue to benefit from higher reliability as new technologies and requests emerge, “said CTO Jeanie York VMO2.
The company boldly said that 2025 will be the year when it will finish “the main stages to develop its mobile network”. This work includes the abolition of dated technologies, such as the downgrading of the 3G network infrastructure, and the adoption of new technologies such as artificial intelligence.
For the future, Virgin Media O2 wants to focus on building more effective networks that are more energy efficient.
