<p>The Government is committed to extending good quality 4G mobile coverage to 95%
of the UK landmass. The Government’s existing 5G ambition for the majority of the
population to have access to a 5G signal by 2027 has been delivered five years early
through ‘basic’ (non-standalone) 5G.</p><p>We have already made reforms to the planning
system to support the deployment of 5G and help extend mobile coverage. The changes,
which came into force on 4 April 2022, enable operators to upgrade existing sites
for 5G and share infrastructure to improve mobile coverage. And the Product Security
and Telecommunications Infrastructure Bill, currently before Parliament, amends the
Electronic Communications Code to encourage faster and more collaborative negotiations
for the installation and maintenance of telecoms equipment.</p><p>The Government is
developing a Wireless Infrastructure Strategy to set out a strategic framework for
the development, deployment and adoption of 5G and future networks.</p><p> </p>
