en.Wedoany.com Reported - Czech telecom operator O2 and communications infrastructure company CETIN are finalizing a batch of rural mobile network expansion projects. CETIN will build 20 mobile communication transmission stations covering 32 locations across the Czech Republic that previously had insufficient signal or were difficult to construct, with the stations scheduled for completion by the end of June.

This project is part of the 5G mobile infrastructure construction plan promoted by the Czech Ministry of Industry and Trade, focusing on rural areas and "white zone" coverage scenarios with high investment difficulty. The project is supported by the Czech National Recovery Plan and co-funded by EU funds, aiming to bring stable mobile signals to regions with previously weak communication infrastructure.

In terms of construction approach, CETIN emphasizes coverage efficiency when selecting sites, striving to cover multiple surrounding villages and towns with a single base station. The 20 newly built transmission stations will not only serve O2 users but also be open to other mobile operators. This arrangement helps improve infrastructure utilization, reduce redundant construction, and allow more regional users to share the new network coverage.

O2 and CETIN have maintained a long-term cooperative relationship in Czech mobile network construction. O2 provides mobile communication services to end users, while CETIN is responsible for network infrastructure construction, operation, and wholesale access. This expansion at 32 locations continues the division of labor between the two parties in 5G network modernization and rural coverage gap filling.

Mobile communication construction in rural and remote areas typically faces challenges such as low user density, long investment recovery cycles, complex site construction, and terrain constraints. Through public funding subsidies and infrastructure sharing, operators can advance network construction in areas with insufficient commercial returns, enhancing mobile connectivity for local residents, businesses, public institutions, and tourists.

The new coverage will support daily communication, mobile internet, emergency contact, rural digitalization, and small business activities. For villages and towns with previously insufficient signal, a stable mobile network not only improves call and internet experiences but also provides foundational conditions for remote work, online services, agricultural digitalization, and local tourism.

The subsequent focus of this project will be on transmission station completion, network access, operator service activation, and verification of actual coverage effects. If the 20 transmission stations are completed as planned by the end of June, the 32 previously under-covered locations in the Czech Republic will gain new mobile network capabilities, and O2 and CETIN will complete another phase of gap-filling tasks in rural 5G infrastructure construction.
