In a move that has us scratching our heads and giggling simultaneously, Virgin Media O2 has just unveiled their latest innovation: placing 4G and 5G “smart poles” right beside their broadband cabinets. Yes, you read that correctly. It seems they’ve decided that their cabinets aren’t just for holding broadband anymore – now they’re doubling as hosts for mobile network boosters.
The concept is as quirky as it gets. Picture this: you’re strolling down the street, admiring the scenery, and suddenly you notice a peculiar addition to the neighborhood. There it stands, a funky amalgamation of broadband cabinet and mini phone mast, affectionately dubbed the “smart pole” by the brains behind this scheme. And what’s even more amusing? These poles are apparently so tiny that they can be plopped down in less than a day, much to the dismay of the locals, who are left wondering what in the world their street has turned into.
But hold on, it gets better. Virgin Media O2, in their infinite wisdom, has come up with a genius way to power these pint-sized poles. Forget traditional electricity – they’re tapping into their fiber network for what they call “digital electricity.” Yes, you heard that right. They’re sending power through fiber optic cables. Don’t ask us how; we’re just here for the laughs.
According to the higher-ups at VMO2, this groundbreaking trial is all about working smarter and giving customers more bang for their buck. Because who wouldn’t want their broadband cabinet to moonlight as a mobile network booster, right? Jeanie York, the Chief Technology Officer, seems positively thrilled about the whole ordeal, envisioning a future where these hybrid contraptions not only improve coverage but also usher in the era of smart cities. We can only imagine what’s next – broadband cabinets doubling as coffee dispensers, perhaps?
Of course, not everyone is sold on the idea. There are whispers about the viability of this deployment, and questions linger about what this means for the future of Virgin Media O2’s network. But hey, who cares about the logistics when you’ve got smart poles popping up like mushrooms after a rainstorm?
In the end, whether this experiment turns out to be a stroke of genius or a hilarious misstep remains to be seen. But one thing’s for sure – it’s certainly given us plenty to chuckle about.
