Mobile operator O2 (Virgin Media) has today announced that they’ve completed a project to improve their 4G and 5G based mobile (mobile broadband) network in the West Midlands city of Wolverhampton, which since the start of 2024 has seen network capacity upgraded in 850 postcodes across the area.
The capacity boost should ensure that local residents, visitors and business can all benefit from having access to faster and more reliable mobile services when connected via O2’s mobile network in the city. The work forms part of O2’s ongoing effort to invest £2m a day into their mobile network, which enables them to deploy new technologies and keep up with increasing customer demand. All mobile operators have to conduct similar work.
Steven Verigotta, Director of Mobile Delivery at VMO2, said: “With customers using more data than ever before, the improvements we’ve made at 850 postcodes in Wolverhampton will ensure local people and businesses can access reliable connectivity that is so essential in the modern world. We are continuing to invest in our network with future upgrades planned to ensure that we can continue to support our customers both now and in future.”
