11 September 2024

Virgin Media O2 and Ontix have deployed outdoor small cells across the borough of Reading, enhancing 4G mobile connectivity and speeding up service for residents, businesses, students, and visitors in central Reading.

The small cells have been installed in some of the busiest areas of the town, including Reading Station, Reading College, Reading Museum, the Abbey Ruins, and the Oracle Shopping Centre. This deployment is expected to improve coverage and speeds for both residents and visitors.

With over 20 million people passing through Reading Station and over a million visiting the Oracle Shopping Centre each year, the small cells will help alleviate network congestion and increase capacity.
