It seems that Everything Everywhere along with Three (3) are very keen on making mobile broadband connectivity in Northern Ireland better, and decided to invest £25m to double today's 3G coverage of 54 per cent to 94 per cent.

By doing so, the region's 2G services are very likely to get enhanced as well.

The boost will involve the firms' network sharing operator's, Mobile Broadband Network Limited (MBNL), assistance as well.

Northern Ireland's Enterprise Minister, Arlene Foster, recently said in a statement:

"News of an investment of this size in the growing mobile sector comes at an important time. My Department has consulted extensively on telecoms investment priorities for 2011-2015 and has received endorsement for proposals to examine ways to deliver improvements in high-speed mobile delivery.

"We are in detailed discussions with the UK Government to source sizeable funding to deliver a 4G platform to allow us to benefit from the next evolution of mobile services."

According to recent stats, 73 per cent of homes and just 13 per cent of outdoor locations could receive services from all five major UK mobile operators (Orange, T-Mobile, Vodafone, O2 and Three). The more rural the location, the less variety households had to choose from.

SimplifyDigital hopes that this venture will be fruitful and that more locations in Northern Ireland will be able to get and hopefully stay connected.
