The small cells are connected back to a nearby hub using WIG\u2019s newly constructed fibre links which enable faster and higher capacity mobile services.\u00a0The infrastructure was designed, deployed and funded by WIG and is built to support all mobile operators as well as other wireless networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>O<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0is the first mobile operator to launch its services using the infrastructure and has played a key role in its development, deploying C-RAN technology which is new to the UK. O<sub>2<\/sub>\u00a0will initially run advanced 4G services but the fibre-connected small cells pave the way for 5G by enabling even faster speeds, lower latency and better coordination between cells than traditional network methods. Better coordination and lower latency are essential for the advancement of future applications such as autonomous vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first wave of small cell deployments in Aberdeen has now been switched on in key parts of the city and the network passes busy public venues such as the central railway station, Aberdeen University and Aberdeen FC\u2019s stadium. The network is expected to extend across the rest of the city in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"--col-width:33.33%;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left is-style-tw-minimal is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"color:#0c5972\" class=\"has-inline-color\">We are delighted to be working with WIG on this project. Building digital connectivity into our economic future now is essential to ensuring that Scotland, and the rest of the UK, becomes one of the best-connected countries in the world. The small cell network in Aberdeen represents a successful collaboration between council, infrastructure provider and mobile network operator. It is a crucial step along the path to making the UK 5G ready.<\/span><\/p><cite>Brendan O\u2019Reilly, Chief Technology Officer at O<sub>2<\/sub><br><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-left is-style-tw-minimal is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><span style=\"color:#0c5972\" class=\"has-inline-color\">We have a clear vision of enabling the best mobile and wireless connectivity across Aberdeen to stimulate local economic growth.
