MOBILE phone and data connectivity along the Brighton Main Line is to be improved, after owner and operator of wireless telecoms infrastructure Cellnex UK and mobile network Three UK have signed a 25-year agreement with Network Rail.
The partnership will see Three host its mobile voice and data equipment on a Cellnex UK infrastructure along the entire London to Brighton railway route, allowing Three customers to see a noticeable improvement to their mobile and data connectivity from later this year. Uninterrupted connectivity along the line, on board the trains and at major stations, is promised. A Distributed Antenna System will provide coverage in ‘not spots’ such as tunnels and deep cuttings.
