Mobile Boost Scheme
2nd September 2021
Are you a business struggling with poor indoor mobile coverage? Connecting Devon and Somerset (CDS) may be able to help, it has announced the expansion of the Mobile Boost Programme, which aims to upgrade indoor 4G coverage to improve the ability to make voice calls and connectivity.
The programme allows businesses and households to apply for a voucher of up to £1200 towards the cost of one of a number of mobile signal booster options from a registered supplier. The value of the voucher will be dependent on the type of technology most suitable for the premises. Businesses and residents will be required to make a contribution which, depending on the option chosen, will range from £200 for installation to a monthly fee for a SIM card (averaging circa £30 per month). Your supplier will be able to advise on the most appropriate option.
Businesses and residents will need to complete a form self-certifying that they cannot receive an adequate indoor 4G mobile signal. Upon application, a voucher code will be emailed to the applicant which can be used with one of the registered scheme suppliers/installers.
It is down to the applicant to research which of the suppliers can install in their area, contacting the supplier directly to redeem the voucher and arranging to have the equipment installed at the premises.
