O2 UK installs first pre-assembled mobile mast in Europe
Virgin Media O2 announced that O2 has installed the first pre-assembled mobile site in Europe, located at Sandwich in Kent. O2 has partnered with Vecta Labs to install the pre-assembled mobile site, and aims to deploy more than 100 of these sites across the UK in 2026 as part of its GBP 700 million Mobile Transformation Plan. The Sandwich site was installed in four hours, down from the usual installation time of two days, with pre-assembly significantly accelerating deployment and enhancing quality control.
