Tourists and hikers exploring the UK’s most renowned beauty spots and national parks can now benefit from a huge boost in mobile coverage, helping them plan routes and receive live weather updates for safer outdoor adventures.
The UK Government have upgraded over 50 existing mobile masts across Wales, Scotland and England.
The masts, initially only used to connect EE customers and those calling 999, have now been upgraded to provide coverage from all mobile network operators. The upgrade of existing masts will limit the visual and natural impact on the environment, causing less disruption to the surrounding areas.
The upgrades will benefit thousands of local residents and many more visiting the surrounding areas, bringing fast and reliable 4G networks to remote communities previously plagued by poor signal.
Wales sees biggest connectivity boost with remote parts of the Berwyn Mountains, Bannau Brycheiniog, the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley now covered by all four UK networks.
