Mobile Phone Masts in the United Kingdom

Mobile phone masts, also commonly known as cell towers, are critical to provide the services we use everyday on mobile phones, such as the ability to call, text and use mobile data while on the move. The pages below contain images, schematics and detailed information explaining the masts used by the UK's Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) Vodafone, O2, EE and 3 to broadcast 2G, 3G and 4G.

	Monopole Masts Monopole Masts are compact masts used by the MNOs to provide signal to an area in a visually unobtrusive manner, leading to their ubiquitous use in urban and sensitive locations. They can usually be configured to carry all the frequencies that a traditional tower can, permitting 2G, 3G and 4G operation. Vodafone and O2 Phone Mast Monoples Page EE and 3 Monopole masts
	Vodafone and O2 Legacy Masts Masts used by Vodafone and O2 for 2G and/or 3G technologies. Now being replaced by new panels for 4G, and improved 2G and 3G services. Vodafone and O2 Legacy Masts Legacy Vodafone Temporary mast
	Vodafone and O2 4G mast Setups by Beacon Area and Ports/feeder number Vodafone and O2 4G masts described and explained by the CTIL-Beacon area they reside in, ordered within each area by ports/feeder number. Vodafone and O2 4G masts by Beacon area, port and feeder number
	Vodafone and O2 new 4G mast Setups Masts (not Monopoles) that carry upgraded Vodafone and O2 signal. This page largely just exists to show examples in a different order to the main page above. Vodafone and O2 4G masts by Ports/Feeder number Also Vodafone 2600MHz 4G Mast and Vodafone 2600TDD Mast
	Vodafone 1800MHz 4G and 2100MHz 4G This page details Vodafone's refarm of 1800MHz spectrum from 2G to 4G and 2100MHz from 3G to 4G which provides additional capacity to them. Vodafone 1800MHz 4G and 2100MHz 4G masts
	O2 Capacity Approaches: Masts, MIMO, Modulation, Microcells, Refarming Masts O2 use to boost capacity in urban areas, including six sector and more, as well as a microcell. High Capacity O2 masts (Six Sector, Microcells, MIMO, 4G 2100MHz)
	EE and 3 4G masts Masts used by EE and 3 for 4G services New MBNL EE/3 4G masts EE 2600MHz Masts (addon page)
	Legacy EE/3 Masts Page showing some legacy masts used by EE and 3. More content to be added soon. Old EE/3 Masts
	Other EE/3 Masts Specialised location masts. Temporary Mast and Glastonbury masts
	Mobile Infrastructure Project (MIP) Mast A mast installed as part of a government project to improved signal. Has all MNOs and is setup for 4G. MIP Mast
	Specialised Masts for railways (GSM-R) and Tetra (Airwave) Rail Road masts GSM-R 900 Tetra (Emergency services masts)

UHF TV carrying Masts in the United Kingdom

These masts were originally built in order to carry analogue terrestrial TV transmissions. Now they carry UHF Freeview (DTV) and many also have mobile masts.
