Rural mobile coverage

Mova manages and runs the The Shared Rural Network (SRN) programme which is transforming mobile coverage, countrywide. The SRN is transforming rural mobile coverage; boosting wellbeing, productivity and investment in rural areas and offers a sustainable approach to the challenge of delivering rural mobile coverage.

The project was developed by the UK’s four mobile network operators (MNOs) with support from the Government. The programme has made 4G mobile coverage available to 95% of the UK a year ahead of its original end-of-2025 target. It continues to bring significant improvements to mobile coverage for rural communities and delivers long-term investment in the UK’s digital economy.

We provide programme and public funds management, reporting and tracking information to the four UK mobile operators, the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and Ofcom. We lead on all external communications and stakeholder engagement, working closely with the MNOs and their trade body, Mobile UK.
