We all got together recently for our quarterly All Hands gathering 🎉. This time it was the turn of design and delivery to step into the spotlight. The masts team gave a masterful performance illustrating the process they go through from start to finish with new ground or rooftop installations. The new product introduction team shared details of what goes into coming up with innovative new approaches for our customers. And we also heard from the indoors connectivity team across both small cells and DAS about some highlights of what they’ve achieved so far this year. We were lucky enough to hear from Jeffrey Ginsberg, Chief Administrative Officer and Chairperson of ESG Committee, from our investor DigitalBridge. He gave us an update on some of the macro trends from DigitalBridge’s point of view as well as doing a Q&A with the team. Our CEO Simon Frumkin and CFO Peter Franklin also gave us a business update as we’re now into the second half of the year. After our regular employee recognition and long service awards, it was off to Waterloo to enjoy some drinks and nibbles at our summer party and have a great time catching up with everyone across the business in the sunshine ☀️.

Despite nearly 15 million unused smartphones collecting dust in UK homes, a new study from Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub has revealed that Brits are more inclined to sit in a bath of baked beans or stay silent for 24 hours to raise money for charity rather than donate their old devices! Virgin Media O2 and Hubbub’s Community Calling scheme aims to provide smartphones to people who cannot afford devices or connectivity, ensuring they can access essential online services. To date, 20,000 devices have been donated, benefitting victims of domestic abuse, refugees, and disadvantaged communities. #charity #recycling #technology #mobile

Mobile connectivity from all four UK operators is essential in the modern workplace. For real estate professionals looking to attract organisations to their developments it’s a must in order to avoid frustrated tenants, lower business productivity and a less appealing workplace.

It comes with big energy savings, faster deployment and a sleek design.

Advances in mobile technology open up new opportunities for products and services that the channel can offer their customers. Comms Business recently took a look at the latest mobile offerings and Brendan Hourihane, our Senior Director, told the publication: “We’re seeing high demand for 4G mobile services across every type of organisation, from offices to hospitals to stadiums. Having also deployed private networks for several years now we’re seeing increasing demand for them and expect this demand to only increase as 5G devices proliferate.” You can read the full piece below 👇 And if you’re a channel company and would like to find out more about Freshwave’s exclusive Omni Network, a world first with all four UK mobile operators via small cells in one box, please contact us.

Some Freshwavers attended techUK’s Annual Dinner this week and are still buzzing. It was an incredible and inspiring evening highlighting the crucial need for industry and government to work together to bridge the digital skills gap, and celebrating the contributions and positive difference technology and the organisations behind it are making across the UK. The speakers throughout the night gave amazing and thought-provoking (with a dash of humour) speeches that tied together the theme of the night. They included journalist Amol Rajan and Permanent Secretary at Department of Science, Innovation and Technology, Sarah Munby. Freshwave’s Graham Payne, Chairman, Tom Bennett, CTO, Sharon Olive, Account Direct MNOs, Alexandra Sutton, Head of Marketing and Campaigns, and Kayla Muir, Acquisitions Coordinator, along with our special guests, Simon Rowell, CEO, Senior Advisor at Innovate UK, Sayendan 'Sye' Thevathas, Strategic Infrastructure and Highways Asset Manager at City of London Corporation, and Pete Hollebon, National Outdoor Small Cell and Microcell Delivery Lead at Virgin Media O2, really enjoyed the opportunity to be part of such an engaging event hosted by our friends at techUK. We’re looking forward to the next one. 

We’re proud of our world first with Omni Network! Our CEO, Simon Frumkin, says: “Omni Network extends in-building mobile connectivity to a wider range of organisations than ever before thanks to our team’s technical innovation. As the only company in the UK able to offer Omni Network, we’re looking forward to the benefits it will bring to our customers across the public and private sector. We’re grateful to all the UK mobile operators for their collaboration which made Omni Network possible.” Find out more in our media release here: https://lnkd.in/ecq_64ns EE Three UK Virgin Media O2 Vodafone CommScope #OmniNetwork #IndoorSmallCell #NeutralHost #MobileSignal
