Glastonbury Festival returns this year on 25^th-29^th June as one of the most popular and largest festival in the world, and EE are returning as the official technology and communications partner after a successful collaboration last year.

EE will be working with the organisers to deliver a unique 4G network on-site at the festival, as well as providing free phone charging for everyone and offering an official Glastonbury mobile app which will keep all the punters connected for the weekend.

Festival goers will be able to use the tried and tested EE Recharge Tent which has gone down a storm in the past and provides users with access to mains sockets to charge their devices. However 2014 marks a first for EE as they introduce their new and unique mobile handset charging solution, the EE Festival Power Bar!

People can purchase the EE Festival Power Bar now from EE’s website in preparation for the festival. The way it works is that users can charge their power bar before attending the festival, and use it to charge their mobile devices, then once the power bar runs out of juice you simply visit the EE Exchange Cabin on-site and they will swap it for a fully-charged power bar, which you can take away and use at your leisure. This innovative system gives you unlimited charging, all without having to hang around in communal tents waiting for your device to charge, as you can charge it as and when you like! Fantastic!

To compliment this device, the official Glastonbury app will offer users a range of features such as schedules for the acts on stage, interactive maps for the site, and social integration for the festival goers to help them meet up and exchange stories. EE are currently putting the finishing touches to the app, which is due for release in June.

The town of Rhyl in North Wales has recently become the 200^th town in the UK to gain 4G coverage from mobile network provider EE, giving EE 72% 4G coverage across the UK population.

Other towns that have recently gained the 4GEE coverage include Bishop Auckland, Brighouse, Larne, Newry, Peterlee, Staines, Cumbernauld, Hamilton Kirkintilloch, Armadale, Stockton-on-Tees and Washington.

All of these locations will now be able to enjoy superfast internet access across all devices, whether on mobile, tablet or laptop.

In order for a town to officially be labelled as receiving 4G, at least 80% of the areas must have coverage, and EE seem to be progressing well, as it’s only taken them 18 months to roll out 4GEE across these 200 towns. As a result of their progress they now have over 2 million customers enjoying superfast broadband on their mobile devices.

These recent developments have put the UK’s mobile infrastructure well ahead of a lot of other countries, so credit due to EE!

The best thing about the roll out of 4GEE is that EE have made it affordable to the masses, with the cheapest tariff coming in at just £13.99 with their own-brand EE Kestrel smartphone handset. Click below to visit EE’s site today.
