mobile networks as part of the COVID-19 outbreak response<\/h2>\n<p>We would like to say \u201cThank You\u201d for your support in continuing to facilitate site access to our telecommunications apparatus so our key workers can carry out essential works to keep the networks running during the on-going COVID-19 outbreak.<\/p>\n<p>As the UK remains in a nationwide lockdown amid its fight against the outbreak, the 24\/7 availability of communication services is critically important as people rely on these for almost every element of this new way of daily life.\u00a0 Fully operational telecommunications infrastructure is needed to support mass homeworking and connectivity to emergency and medical services.<\/p>\n<p>In light of this, the Government has issued its most recent guidance on telecommunications infrastructure deployment, that sets out and clarifies that telecommunications, including mobile networks, are a critical sector in new Government regulations and legislation, recognising the ongoing importance of the telecommunications industry at this crucial time.<\/p>\n<p>Key aspects of the new regulations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Work to repair and maintain the telecommunications network must be allowed to continue at the current time.<\/li>\n<li>Site Providers should continue to provide access to sites to inspect, maintain, adjust, repair or upgrade electronic communications equipment.<\/li>\n<li>Network operators must be able to rectify network outages promptly and to mitigate any effects of network degradation over the duration of this emergency period.<\/li>\n<li>Gatherings of more than two people are permitted where this is essential for work purposes.\u00a0 Workers must follow the guidance about taking precautions to reduce the spread of COVID-19.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Full guidance statement can be found\u00a0<a

national infrastructure by making sure\u00a0communication services remain accessible for key workers at the forefront of the outbreak response, enabling businesses and individuals to carry on as normally as possible, and protecting the most vulnerable in society.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #0db028;\">Your support helps to connect the whole nation<\/h2>\n<p>Thank you again to our site providers who have been in touch since our last communications to inform us of your contingency plans and offered extra help for prompt site access and safety.\u00a0 We would appreciate it if you could continue to keep us updated on your arrangements to facilitate site access to the telecommunications apparatus.\u00a0 Please also take any measures necessary to ensure that these arrangements can be used at all times.\u00a0 This is vital for our key workers to carry out repairs to any service-affecting faults and to continue our essential capacity upgrades.\u00a0 Please be assured that we and our
