Vodafone will be using JCDecaux to use its posters sites and street furniture as sites for small cells. The project is based upon an experiment in Amsterdam that used 1800MHz and 2600MHz small cells. Vodafone isn't saying whose kit is being deployed, although Ericsson does have a deal with Philips to make LED street lights which are also small cells. Vodafone says it will be talking to a number of manufacturers.

One small caveat is that the initial deployment won’t include support for LTE-Advanced technology and Carrier Aggregation, which allows operators like EE and Vodafone to deliver even faster speeds by harnessing the ability to use more than one spectrum band at a time for carrying your data. But this will probably follow in the future.

What will the NIMBY's say

Great way to roll out Advanced so it's a shame it's not rolling out first with it. They have been installing bus shelters with screens here in Edinburgh as part of a new deal with the council, JCDecaux and Philips so hopefully we might see this tech shortly here!!

The former contractor threw the toys out of the pram over the deal...
