T-Mobile UK and 3 UK are on course to complete their groundbreaking joint network infrastructure program by the end of 2010, said a joint press release. When completed, it will be Europe’s largest shared network and will offer smartphone and dongle customers the biggest 3G coverage in the UK, along with excellent levels of connection coverage and performance. The HSDPA 3G network already offers outdoor coverage to more than 90% of Britain’s population. By the end of this year, the network coverage will be expanded to more than 98% of the population, said the two companies.
In December 2007, anticipating the rapid growth of Mobile Internet and data usage that was to come, T-Mobile UK and 3 UK pooled their 3G network infrastructure in a 50:50 joint venture company, Mobile Broadband Network Ltd. (MBNL). The resulting shared network requires fewer masts, consumes less energy and provides customers with a superior mobile broadband service.
Both T-Mobile UK and 3 UK have experienced very high growth in mobile data and Internet usage resulting in the MBNL network carrying by far the highest volume of data traffic of all networks deployed by Nokia Siemens Networks globally.
