NETCS was instructed by an MNO to deliver mobile coverage to a rural village using the CofE portfolio and NetRAN solution.
We successfully completed the installation at St Andrew’s Church in Letcombe Regis. The site has been designed and delivered using a Neutral Host deployment model.
The MNO’s BTS equipment has been installed at low level, enabling access for all four MNOs. Coverage is provided via four discreetly integrated antennas positioned at the top of the church, ensuring minimal visual impact.
This deployment delivers much-needed connectivity to a village classified as a Rural Partial Not-Spot.
“The site is also located next to a retirement village which incorporates a care home. Improved mobile coverage means the residents will have good and reliable coverage enabling them to keep in touch with their loved ones. Improved coverage is also important for when the PSTN to VoIP transition occurs giving residents increased reliability via mobile backup for their medical devices and alarms which are currently connected to the PSTN.”
