What this does and does not tell you.These are licensed radio sites from ISED’s spectrum database — where carriers are permitted to transmit. It is not measured coverage. A site three kilometres away can be useless if it is behind a rise or its antennas point elsewhere, and a distant one on a tall tower with clear line of sight can be perfectly good. Whether a booster will work at your address comes down to what actually reaches your roof, which is a survey, not a calculation. ISED spectrum licence data, fetched 2026-09-11.
What the work looks like in Courtland
Good mobile coverage removes one of the standard rural fallbacks from the conversation. Where a booster is the obvious answer for a lot of Norfolk addresses, here the signal is generally already usable, and the money is better spent on the property network than on amplifying something that does not need it. That is worth saying out loud, because a booster is an easy thing to sell to someone who assumes rural means poor signal.
What is left is the tobacco-belt problem. The kilns and curing barns are still standing across this area, repurposed into storage and workshops, sitting in rows well back from the house because that is how they were built. Each one is a separate small building with no wiring to it and a genuine reason to want cameras on it.
What people here ask for
- Network runs to converted kilns and curing barns
- Ginseng and remote field monitoring
- Property distribution rather than signal boosting
