The Network Bringing “Mobile, Reimagined” to the UK
March 2026 — In an era where digital connectivity is as essential as water and electricity, Cellinfo is proud to announce its official support for Azure PCS, an innovative community-based mobile network designed to eliminate “not-spots” in underserved areas.
Breaking the Traditional Carrier Model
While national operators often overlook rural businesses, farms, and local community hubs due to deployment costs, Azure PCS is taking a radically different approach. By using an open-source 4G LTE infrastructure (Open5GS) and Ofcom-licensed shared spectrum (2300 MHz), they are putting the power of connectivity directly into the hands of the community.
How Azure PCS is Changing the Game:
- Community-Hosted Infrastructure: From local pubs to remote farm buildings, anyone with a broadband connection and power can host a compact LTE femtocell for approximately £80, creating immediate 4G data coverage for the surrounding area.
- Crowdfunded Macro Sites: For wider coverage, Azure PCS facilitates community-funded outdoor base stations, allowing villages to take control of their own digital future.
- Independent Core Network: Unlike many “virtual” networks, Azure PCS runs its own core platform independently, ensuring high security and local control.
