Risk Management experts SmartWater are working with renowned Telecoms companies to help protect them from attacks on their masts. With many 5G mobile phone masts having been the subject of recent arson attacks, SmartWater has extended its long-running relationship with MBNL (Mobile Broadband Network Limited) to now include the protection of their assets from criminal damage.

Jointly owned by telecoms providers EE and Three, MBNL has - along with other telecom companies - been the subject of several mast attacks from conspiracy theorists falsely linking 5G technology with the Coronavirus. As a result, MBNL has started deploying a number of security enhancements across its mast sites, including the use of specially-adapted SmartWater ‘SmartSpray’ systems, that have been developed in consultation with MBNL.
