0 likes2,126 views
TalkTalk is implementing an LTE small cell program to enhance its mobile service for residential and business customers by leveraging low power technology and building an inside-out LTE network. The plan includes developing a next-generation router that combines VDSL/ADSL modem, Wi-Fi, and LTE femtocells, aimed at improving connectivity and service quality. This initiative is expected to boost customer experience and drive growth for TalkTalk in the future.
