Today mobile communications are vital to how society communicates and conduct business.\u00a0 The UK Government recognises this central role and has set a target for the majority of households to be connected to 5G by 2030.\u00a0 Further to that, 95% of the UK\u2019s landmass is set to be covered by a reliable 4G signal through the Shared Rural Network, a joint initiative between the UK\u2019s MNOs and the Government.\u00a0 In order to achieve this, it is equally important to identify and alleviate any barriers that impede or make mobile infrastructure deployment more difficult, costly or timely to roll out.\u00a0 In its newest report ‘The Case for Local Authority Digital Champions’, Mobile UK outlines several areas that continue to make mobile equipment deployment difficult; these are the lack of coordination, expertise, and focussed resource to enable mobile connectivity at local authority level.\u00a0\u00a0 The report points out that Investment in a localised resource in the form of a Digital Champion offers significant benefits in enabling mobile deployment and thus realising the benefits of connectivity to local areas more quickly.\u00a0 This report seeks to highlight how Digital Champions, funded by central government, put in place to coordinate local authorities\u2019 digital strategies and relationships with the industry, can have hugely positive outcomes in the smooth deployment of mobile networks and in building more effective relationships both within councils and with telecommunications providers.<\/p>\n
