EE for Emergency Services

Mobile operator EE has been chosen by the UK government to bring a mobile network specifically for 300,000 emergency service workers.

A government initiative of £1 billion aims to replace the current TETRA system and bring 4G to critical comms. O2 pulled out of the tender earlier on this year – so this is a good win for mobile operator EE, who can now stress how consistent and reliable their network must be to have been given this opportunity.

Information on Telecoms.com shows that CEO of EE, Olaf Swantee, says “we’ve worked closely with the police and ambulance crews to show the power of 4G in helping save time and save lives. We will now work tirelessly to deliver a highly resilient, truly nationwide 4G network to serve all of Britain’s Blue Light and First Responder teams across the UK.”

The transition to this emergency services network will start mid-2017. EE claims it’s going to add over 500 new 4G sites across the UK!
