Mobile private networks utilise the wider public mobile networks but create a dedicated private one with agreed performance levels. It is like having your own personal mobile network. These networks are perfect for industrial users such as ports, factories and emergency services who need specific performance levels that won’t be impacted by the wider public use of the networks.
These are ground-based poles deployed on the public highway (e.g., pavements). They are often disguised to match the existing street furniture. They are tall so that they can broadcast a signal over local buildings, such as houses.

Small cells (also known as micro cells or pico cells) are smaller antenna systems designed to work over a very short range, perhaps only a hundred metres. They complement the existing macro network by providing a signal to areas where macro cells might find it difficult to reach or where additional capacity is needed, such as high-usage urban areas to ease congestion (e.g. train stations, stadiums etc.).
Did you know that mobile operators often share passive infrastructure, for example, towers, masts, or poles, to reduce the need for multiple or duplicate masts? It also makes economic sense and saves costs.
Did you know that all UK mobile phone operators design, build and operate their installations to comply with guidelines set by the international commission for non-ionizing radiation protection to ensure they are always safe for the public?
These phone masts are deployed on existing buildings and structures (i.e., blocks of flats, commercial properties). The advantage is that rooftops provide height so that a ground-based mast is not required, and they are less visually intrusive.
