• Full landlord commitment, some with planning consent
• Fast-track sites for mobile operators

NTL's Wireless Solutions group, a business unit of the company's Broadcast division, has added 50 more premium radio sites to its extensive portfolio throughout the UK through a partnership with Pentland Chartered Surveyors.  The land opportunities represent potential ‘quick wins' for the mobile cellular operators and the wider telecommunications industry as these sites have been specifically selected from an extensive database, targeted for their technical suitability and expected speed of acquisition.  All the locations have full landlord commitment and some already have planning consent for towers.

Bob Foss, marketing manager for wireless solutions at NTL, comments: "NTL continually strives to deliver quality sites and site opportunities to its clients.  This new portfolio has been carefully filtered by both Pentland and ntl to ensure that they are of high quality and that they will meet the demanding time-scales required in the telecommunications marketplace.  We hope to develop this partnership on a broad basis, offering many more sites in the future."

Dovid Pink, associate director of Pentland, says, "We have built up a quality reputation and contacts over the past decade working as specialist telecommunications acquisition agents, enabling us to provide both advice and sites to suit clients' specific needs.  In today's difficult environment the collaboration with ntl is a tremendous opportunity for operators to expand their network with extended choice."

Largely in the north of England, the location of these sites has now been incorporated into ntl's web-based Sitefinder application and all queries should be routed via the relevant NTL account management team or free-phone 0800 052 6246.
