Proposals have been submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council to upgrade the existing mast at the top of The Wrekin.
Work includes the installation of three more antennas, two dishes, one GPS module, a supporting equipment cabinet and ancillary apparatus at the established UHF Main Station.
The planning application has been submitted on behalf of Vodafone Ltd, in conjunction with Cornerstone.
“The application site is likely to carry different mobile connectivity services in parallel, with high data uses operating through the new advanced higher capacity network apparatus subject of this application,” says the planning application.
“As the apparatus proposed will lead to significant improvements to a public service provided in the local area, the application merits support.
