Services

UK01 is a mobile network in the UK, operated by Mapesbury Communications Ltd. Currently they do not provide any service; they plan on putting their transmitters inside Wifi Wireless networking boxes used by Spectrum.

The service will run on the low power 1800Mhz spectrum. This means that 3G data connections will not be available on UK01's own network. In addition, the 1800Mhz spectrum has a short range so customers will not be able to wander far from the transmitter.^[1]

Technology

Ofcom also issued the regulatory elements required for a GSM mobile operator ,^[2] a MCC of 234 (ITU code for UK) and MNC of 01 - which provides the default of UK01 when used with a regular cellular phone. For further information

As a "code system" operator obligations under the telecommunications act 2003 apply, providing mobile porting with all UK mobile networks.^[3]
