Our work

We specialise in transparently delivering complex programmes with multiple public and private stakeholders. We support our stakeholders in achieving their shared objectives through our TV interference mitigation, spectrum clearing and rural connectivity programmes.

  • TV interference mitigation

    The Restore TV programme fixes disruption to free to view TV received through an aerial, such as Freeview, BT, TalkTalk and YouView, that is possible when mobile services are upgraded.

  • Spectrum clearance

    In 2017, DMSL began helping provide support to viewers as TV services were moved from some airwaves to allow for future mobile services as part of the 700 MHz Clearance Programme.

  • Rural mobile coverage

    The Shared Rural Network (SRN) is transforming mobile coverage, countrywide. Developed by the UK’s four mobile network operators (MNOs) with support from the Government, the programme will make 4G mobile coverage available to 95% of the UK.
