We spend a lot of time ensuring our homes and workspaces are comfortable and suitable for our needs. According to the government, in the UK, people spend between 80-90% of their time indoors. This has a direct impact on where mobile data is used, with data from Ericsson indicating that 80% of mobile data is consumed inside.

Yet the majority of UK mobile network operators (MNOs) still prioritize outdoor coverage in network upgrades. With each mobile upgrade cycle, customers expect better speed, performance, and latency, but above all, consistency. It’s clear that indoor 5G is already an issue, with more than half of UK users experiencing signal woes at home. Addressing indoor 5G will only become a more pressing issue for MNOs moving forward since mobile data usage is rising year-on-year.
