M Group awarded place on groundbreaking £11 billion network build for VodafoneThree

M Group Telecom has been announced as a key delivery partner for VodafoneThree, as part of an £11 billion investment to support its ambitious plan to boost connectivity nationwide, significantly modernising the UK’s digital landscape.

As part of this award, which will last for five years, with the opportunity to be extended by a year, M Group Telecom will work alongside VodafoneThree and its technology partners, Nokia and Ericsson, to deliver cutting-edge infrastructure crucial for the rollout of 5G standalone technology.

M Group Telecom’s award leverages its extensive experience in support clients across mobile network infrastructure and will see the business deliver the build of telecom towers, fibre optics and base stations, to ensure the network is prepared for the demands of the future, including AI, automation and future digital services.
