Transport for London has shortlisted the 4 bidders - Axia SC
Consortium, BAI Communications, Cellnex UK Ltd and Wireless Infrastructure
Group - for a contract to roll out 4G mobile connectivity across the
underground sections of the London Underground network. TfL is working with the
UK’s 4 mobile network providers to install 4G connectivity on a trial section
of the Jubilee Line between Westminster and Canning Town. It expects connectivity
within most stations and tunnels from March 2020; TfL plans to install more
than 2,000km of cabling on this section.
Once the concession contract is awarded, the pilot area may
be subject to changes. The pilot section is envisaged as the first step to
rolling out mobile connectivity across the whole of the London Underground by
the mid-2020s. Visit https://tfl.gov.uk.
