Projects
Our highly-focused, real-world deployment projects, are focused on identifying and defining a common set of requirements and deployment guidance in two scenarios, directly linked to driving regional prosperity to be replicable within the region and around the UK:
The Harwell Science and Innovation Campus
We’re working with stakeholders and suppliers to procure a managed private 5G network for significant parts of the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus, the world-renowned 700-acre science and technology park in Oxfordshire. This will provide a secure, business-grade wireless network for businesses at the campus, while simultaneously scoping and documenting a common set of requirements for deploying across other science or innovation parks.
Bicester to Bletchley 5G Rail Corridor
We’ll be delivering connected trackside private 5G along East West Rail, a new section of rail network under construction between Bicester and Bletchley. This will provide better connectivity for passengers and other railway users, and will also open up opportunities to connect public services providers and rural businesses in traditional not-spots.
