Closing the Gaps in Rural Mobile Coverage 

The SRN programme has met its UK-wide 4G coverage target early. The next phase targets ‘total not-spots’—areas with zero mobile signal, focusing on remote parts of Scotland and rural Britain. 


SRN Next Phase Highlights 

  • Coverage to key walking routes, tourism zones, and rural settlements 


  • Environmentally sensitive, shared-use mast deployment 


  • Local engagement essential to identify and prioritise strategic locations 


Why This Matters to You 

  • For Councils – A critical moment to secure emergency, tourism, and economic connectivity in remote areas
