Mobile Phone network voice and data coverage in the tunnels. It has been estimated that the
provision of full coverage on the network would be worth &amp;pound;1.1bn to the UK Economy.
This Proof of Concept study proposes an entirely new technical approach to the provision of
network coverage. One that promises an order of magnitude reduction in installation and
support costs, transforming the prospects of finding a viable commercial funding model.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
