The project is being delivered by Boldyn Networks, which says the network is designed to provide a faster, smoother and more reliable mobile experience while handling the huge amount of sharing, streaming and real‑time engagement at the venue.

Boldyn will deploy its Distributed Antenna System (DAS), which will be rolled out across 25 locations around the circuit. The architecture features 57 high-capacity sectors across 87 DAS zones, ensuring reliable connectivity even during peak attendance, said the company.

Speaking about the project, Stuart Pringle OBE, chief executive officer of Silverstone, said: “This new network delivers the performance and resilience we need to support fans, customers and partners and allows us to share information and unforgettable iconic moments that will enhance their visit.”

Details of when the new network will go live have not been announced.
