A row of cellular columns - 3 (now
MBNL), O2 then Vodafone - O2 column
has been upgraded, likely the new CTIL
site.

Mast Sharing
example
Union Mill Mast - Isle of Man. A UHF
PSB TV relay of Douglas on channels
46, 43 and 40. It also carries Sure and
Manx Telecom signals.

of how complex site design is with
multi-operators, multi-RATs & multi-
bands...

3GPP Standards
There are 2 main 3GPP specifications covering network sharing:

•3GPP TR 22.951: Service aspects and requirements for network sharing


• This technical report is aimed to capture the service and user requirements that must
be fulfilled by the 3GPP system in order to enable network sharing in a standardised
way.

•3GPP TS 23.251: Network Sharing; Architecture and functional description


• The present document covers the details of Network Sharing for GERAN, UTRAN and
E-UTRAN. It shows how several core network operators can share one radio access
network and details the impacts on the network architecture. All UEs shall comply
with existing requirements, among them PLMN selection and system information
reception. The present document also defines requirements for network-sharing
supporting UEs.
