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.

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.
