O2 will soon be launching 4G in the Shetlands and in particular in Mossbank and Ollaberry as reported by the Shetland Times. Work began this week and will continue for most of April.
The mobile operator will also be upgrading its 2G and 3G networks at the same time which will greatly increase reliability and coverage for Islanders.
“I’m delighted that O2 customers in Mossbank and Ollaberry, Shetland will soon be able to experience faster mobile internet making everything easier when using their phone or tablet. They’ll be able to stream high definition TV, shop on the go and use video calling. For our business customers, using 4G means they can be more effective and flexible by working remotely, accessing cloud services and collaborating using apps.” said Derek McManus, COO of O2 UK.
This announcement follows on the back of O2’s recent 4G network launches in Feltwell and Milnrow as covered by 4G.co.uk.
