Working at VMO2. I like Apple stuff, FPV, skiing, photography, Physics & Motorbikes. These are my personal views...

The pilot at Cochno Farm shows what’s possible when government, industry and academia collaborate.

Virgin Media O2, University of Glasgow, Scottish Futures Trust and partners have delivered a scalable model for rural mobile coverage.

@Tesla Some people need just a little help to understand why they shouldn’t park in electric charging bays… Like a nice fine, for example…

Some nine months after we finished the #5GDRIVE project with @VMO2News, we continue to provide 4G+2G mobile coverage to 30 ultra rural areas mainly in Wales and Scotland using our all #British network. The number of unique devices that have accessed our network continues to climb and currently sits at over three million with an average static nighttime count in the high hundreds. Given the seasonal traffic that occurs at some of these sites (beaches, national parks, historical sites) it is amazing that the new device count continues to grow at a rate of thousands per day (with this Easter adding nearly a hundred thousand alone).

wavemobile provides the infrastructure and connectivity to make this happen but due "legal and regulatory" issues with domestic interconnect we pay all of the traffic costs ourselves and need to find workarounds to overcome the red tape we are continually tripping over. Additionally we could provide a substantially better service to our customers were we able to secure a bigger chunk of Band 3 than the 3MHz Shared Access Licence, but nationally, there have been only 27 Local Access Licenses granted - and all of the ones we have applied for have been rejected so far due to "future operator plans".

There is a large section of the telecoms community that believes that Starlink or AST is the panacea for rural communications. On a busy spring bank holiday, our network supports nearly 6,000 devices (admittedly struggling due to lack of spectrum availability). If this is from 30 small rural locations in the UK, it is likely that there will be a lot of congestion on the Non Terrestrial Networks when phones start pointing up rather than out.
le success possible.
wavemobile plans to expand significantly in 2025 with some ambitious plans in Scotland and Wales thanks to support from the Welsh Government and Scottish Futures Trust. We will need more "utility" spectrum, that is supported by regular devices as we are network that anyone can use, so more Local Access Licence applications will be going in. We also support 2G still for Emergency Call handling, some smart metering, and in-vehicle telematics (over 20% of the devices we see are 2G even today). Whilst the world is moving to 5GSA and there is talk of 6G, OpenRAN, etc. the real world is very much still using 4G and desperately needs better coverage out of cities and towns. For some places a small cell based solution with domestic roaming really is the only answer - four operators, four radios, four chunks of spectrum, four lots of backhaul, big street cabinets, complex monopoles is not the answer for a community of 40 people and this is where SRN is lacking. Some food for thought.

Reflecting on what a small British company can do, with British designed and made technology we are very proud and would like to thank those who have worked with us to make this tangib

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US.

@elonmusk Utter BS and you know!

@ZelenskyyUa, you and your people are my heroes for standing up against Putin! And the British people stand by you. However I am sorry to say after the way @realDonaldTrump & @JDVance behaved; they need to apologise to you. In my life, I have seen such unstatesmen-like performances…
