O2 is deploying pre-assembled mobile masts in the UK, according to comments published by RCR Wireless News on March 24, 2026. John Bonello, director at Vecta Labs, said the masts are designed for O2 and can scale across different deployment scenarios.

Vecta Labs said the pre-assembled mobile masts reduce installation time from days to hours by completing integration and testing off-site before deployment. The company also said factory-based assembly improves reliability compared with more on-site installation work.

Pre-assembled site infrastructure is part of a broader mobile network build approach focused on faster rollout and more standardized deployment. In this case, the reported work involves UK operator O2 and supplier Vecta Labs, and the source did not provide figures for the number of sites, radio technologies, or deployment locations.
