Brent Council and Cellnex have signed a long-term agreement to ensure mobile connectivity improvements continue across the Borough.
The Council will provide access to lighting columns for Cellnex UK to deploy small cell technology used by Mobile Network Operators to increase mobile coverage and capacity. Offering residents and businesses world-class connectivity is key to delivering Brent’s ambition to become a digital borough. This vision is set out in the Borough’s Digital Strategy.
Cellnex UK already provides vital connectivity in the Borough. Smalls cells have been widely accepted as a crucial part of advancing mobile infrastructure in the UK, given their capacity to boost vital connectivity and coverage in localised areas. As the UK’s largest independent telecoms infrastructure provider, the new agreement will allow Cellnex UK to continue to provide Mobile Operators with access to sites in the borough to quickly and cost-effectively deliver coverage to people and businesses.
