Cornerstone’ s Andy Train explains how the company is investing in AI development and digital skills programmes to engage future industry talent
Telecommunications infrastructure within the UK continues to face unprecedented demands. With the convergence of 5G networks, the Internet of Things( IoT) and autonomous systems, a sophisticated level of connectivity is required that is far beyond anything previous generations of mobile technology have ever seen.
Such a shift is inevitably creating significant pressures on the physical infrastructure required to power our communications, including the equipment that forms the critical backbone of mobile networks.
Cornerstone, the UK’ s largest mobile infrastructure provider, maintains this foundational network of towers – the largest majority of all infrastructure providers across the UK, at over 15,700 – and equipment that supports mobile operators, including the global telco giants.
“ There would be no mobile phone coverage unless we did what we did. There’ d be nowhere to accommodate the cellular operators and provide the relevant cellular coverage that you experience as an end user,” explains Andy Train, Chief Network Officer at Cornerstone.
“ We handle complex land acquisition, sophisticated design and engineering, as well as the construction and maintenance of cell sites.”
