EE to use drones and balloons to give 4G across Britain
An army of airborne drones and helium balloons will soon be used to bring mobile phone signal to remote parts of the UK. The UK's largest mobile phone group EE said their airborne devices will be able to deliver 4G data on demand to fix so-called mobile'notspots'. Customers will be able to request a balloon that would provide them with mobile signal for major events or help connect them in the wake of natural disasters. EE are also deploying a fleet of Rapid Response Vehicles (RRV) with antenna that will help emergency services when the power goes down. EE will be using drones and helium balloons to deliver 4G to the remotest parts of the UK.
