Boldyn puts pedal to the metal with Silverstone’s 5G network
Boldyn Networks is building a permanent high-capacity 5G mobile network at Silverstone, replacing the temporary systems the circuit used to roll in for race season. The new infrastructure will support all UK mobile operators and is designed to cope with heavy data use from fans, race teams, and broadcasters, reducing signal dropouts and improving reliability across the site.
The hybrid active Distributed Antenna System will span 25 locations, with 57 high-capacity sectors across 87 DAS zones to keep coverage stable even on peak days such as the 2025 British Grand Prix, which drew 164,000 spectators on raceday and 500,000 over four days. Silverstone expects year-round benefits for visitors to its karting track, Escapade accommodation, and conference facilities, while cutting seasonal setup work and boosting the venue’s digital capability for future events.
