TfL is not a Mobile Network Operator (MNO), and therefore does not install or operate any 5G equipment. However, in some instances TfL is landlord for such operators to install mobile network equipment on its estate. Whilst MNO’s are investigating the upgrade of sites to 5G, they have not yet upgraded any TfL sites. Any sites NMO’s plan to upgrade will be subject to planning permission and therefore be in the public domain.
Please also see the following content on TfL website relating to mobile phone coverage on the London Underground network, which may be of interest via:
