Improving Mobile Network Coverage in Stendal: Eliminating White Spots
It's time for better mobile phone reception in Stendal, as a new mobile phone mast is set to be constructed with federal funding, aiming to enhance 4G and 5G network coverage in the area. With a price tag of 1.2 million euros, the local recreation area in the Altmark region will hopefully experience fewer interruptions and inconsistencies in their cell phone signals.
The decision to build this mast comes as part of Infrastructure Minister Lydia Hüskens's mission to improve telecommunications in Saxony-Anhalt by 2024. In other words, Saxony-Anhalt is looking to eliminate as many white mobile network spots as possible by the end of 2024, with the current 4G network coverage already exceeding 97% of the state.
Parallels can be drawn to the 5G coverage, which also hovers around 90%, almost matching the national average. In fact, this area is a popular local recreation spot within the Altmark region, but its mobile network coverage still faces legitimate issues with poor cell phone reception. But this is about to change.
As Saxony-Anhalt municipalities look to secure subsidies for the installation of more mobile radio masts, the upcoming construction project in Stendal marks a significant step forward in addressing this issue. With residents and visitors now standing a better chance of maintaining a stable connection in the area, the region could soon enjoy parity with the national average in Internet coverage.
In response to questions about the project, Lydia Hüskens, Infrastructure Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, expressed her excitement about the project's potential to resolve mobile network coverage issues, especially in places like Naumburg. This, in turn, could make a substantial impact on the region's overall connectivity, ultimately fostering a stronger, more connected community.
