Network Rail is implementing 'Project Reach' to improve mobile phone coverage on its mainline network, aiming to tackle signal issues in 57 tunnels and key stations. The initiative involves deploying a new fiber optic network to enhance broadband capacity and mobile broadband antennas for better in-train connectivity. The project, awarded to Freshwave, will be multi-year, starting next year with completion expected by 2028, involving investment in 4G/5G infrastructure at major stations and a substantial increase in fiber optic cable across major railway lines.
Freshwave's investment in mobile infrastructure aims to enhance connectivity across 57 tunnels and major stations, significantly addressing existing coverage gaps on the rail network.
The ambitious 'Project Reach' will lay 1,000 kilometers of state-of-the-art fiber optic cable, transforming the broadband capacity along England's primary rail lines.
