TDF, a stakeholder in the mobile New Deal
As part of the Mobile New Deal's targeted coverage plan, this telecommunications tower will provide Le Reposoir's residents with 3G/4G mobile coverage.
As an infrastructure operator, TDF makes its existing sites available to its operator customers to meet the needs of the Mobile New Deal, which aims to improve coverage for the population, local authorities and local players. The Group has 8,000 telecoms masts throughout France, enabling it to contribute to the success of this nationwide scheme.
As a neutral operator open to all mobile operators, TDF favors infrastructure sharing and implements it by hosting several operators and services on the same tower.
Olivier Huart, Chairman and CEO of TDF, said:
"We're proud to contribute to the success of the Mobile New Deal, which brings mobile coverage to isolated communities. Telecommunications infrastructures are essential for creating links and activity in the region. TDF is capitalizing on its infrastructure assets (towers, fiber optic and microwave networks, data centers) and its experience in infrastructure deployment and operation to accelerate digital coverage in rural areas."
