Get Connected in Laois County
Laois County Council, acting on issues raised by communities around the county, highlighted to Cellnex Ireland additional areas facing a lack of mobile coverage and connectivity. One of the areas identified was Vicarstown, a small village in County Laois. A detailed site survey was undertaken by Cellnex to identify the optimal location that would provide the necessary improvement in mobile coverage. Following a successful planning application, the site was developed by Cellnex in late 2021 and a slim line street work solution was deployed. It now boasts two Mobile Operators (Three Ireland & Vodafone Ireland) providing significantly improved mobile connectivity to the residents and businesses of Vicarstown and surrounding areas. The new services will be a significant boost to local residents, sports clubs and businesses.
Cellnex Ireland promotes the Get Connected initiative as a platform to channel the demand for better connectivity by local communities where there is poor or no broadband coverage (black spots) that hinders the development of social, employment and economic activity, particularly in rural areas.
Having successfully launched in over nine counties over the past twelve months, today Cellnex Ireland is working with over 30 communities to assess the requirements in their area and to identify and plan the most appropriate solution.
The Strategic Priority “Being a Facilitator of Social progress”, in the Cellnex ESG Master Plan, identifies an action to create materials to explain to the public that 5G networks are designed to minimise power and they use a new, advanced and highly efficient radio architecture resulting in optimised levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields. In this regard, the Cellnex UK team wanted to raise awareness of the benefits of 5G, provide opportunities for the public to self-educate on this topic through a clear Communication and Action Plan based around education, information, process, best practice, partnerships and duty of care.
