New mast booster

More 4G coverage

- Lynn Duke

A new network mast in the Strath is bringing superfast 4G coverage to the area.

Local MP Luke Graham recently visited the site of EE’s latest installati­on on the Langside.

The member of parliament for Ochil and South Perthshire met with Brendan Dick, director of BT Scotland, of which EE is a part, to discuss the new superfast 4G coverage. The mast, situated between Comrie and Braco, is one of several new installati­ons and upgrades being carried out in the area.

Mr Graham said: “I welcome this improvemen­t in our digital infrastruc­ture. The new mast will provide additional coverage for around 170 households and help improve connectivi­ty across South Perthshire.

“I campa igned to improve connectivi­ty in our constituen­cy; I will continue to work with the major providers to deliver improvemen­ts across OSP.”

EE will continue to roll out 4G and is planning to connect to the most remote parts of the country, benefittin­g local residents, businesses and visitors . The emergency services will also have 4G coverage along what to date was a poorly covered road for connectivi­ty.

Mr Dick said: “Keeping people connected is at the heart of everything we do and the power of superfast 4G EE connectivi­ty cannot be underestim­ated.

“From running a business through to keeping in touch with loved ones, 4G changes how people live and work. We know that we’re making a real difference to the community in South Perthshire by providing a great network experience offering crystal clear 4G calls and seamless video streaming to local residents and businesses throughout the region.”
