Description

Telet is the UK's fifth GMSA Full Operator Member.

Frustrated with poor mobile coverage in the Chalke Valley, nr Sailsbury (in an area of outstanding natural beauty), James Body decided to build his own mobile network using small cells mounted on thatched roofs and the village hall.

Last year we were succesful in winnning a DCMS Rural Connected Communities grant, and we're also now running 5G core networks for 3 other DCMS 5G Create Projects.

We will look at the different challenges in building your own mobile network and how the Multi Operator Neutral Host solution can help others in rural locations.
