Plans have been approved to replace an existing 28.6m mast with a new 30m 5G mast in Nether Poppleton near York, providing upgraded mobile connectivity including 5G.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

The approval for the 5G mast upgrade in Nether Poppleton opens local UK mobile infrastructure to improved services and new company participation. You should review your partnerships with incumbents like O2-Virgin Media, as new operators like Cornerstone gain more independence to deploy networks.
