A successful bid for investment has today resulted in Cardiff Council<\/a> (Wales) securing a \u00a3500,000 funding boost from the Welsh Government<\/a> (WG), which will be used to improve the cable duct infrastructure that transports a lot of fibre optic broadband and data connectivity around the city.<\/p>\n

Businesses in the city’s growing creative industries sector have been working closely with the council for the past 18 months and together they have identified the need for the city to expand its existing fibre optic duct network. “This is in order to increase the capacity of the \u2018Cardiff Creative Network\u2019 aimed at providing the gigabit broadband speeds required by the sector<\/em>,” said the WG.<\/p>\n

The exact details of this project are still a little unclear, although it’s due to be completed sometime in 2021<\/strong>. Apparently, part of the aim is to join up with ongoing investment in the duct network along the M4 corridor<\/strong>, thus bringing further benefits across part of the South Wales region.<\/p>\n

All of this should complement the Welsh Government<\/a>’s recent \u00a352.5m Phase 2 Superfast Cymru<\/strong><\/a> contract with BT<\/a> (Openreach<\/a>), which is in the process of extending gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) broadband technology to an additional 39,000 premises<\/strong> by June 2022 (here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Lee Waters, Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The funding we are announcing today will improve the fibre infrastructure enabling the provision of gigabit broadband speeds in the city. This will help Cardiff Council with plans they have to provide faster broadband for the creative industries and to monitor transport across the city so they can pinpoint where improvements can be made to encourage active travel.<\/p>\n

By improving and expanding the current fibre ducts system in the city we can make an important contribution to plans to support businesses.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in Wales the rollout with Openreach<\/a>, which is part of a package of measures to bring faster broadband to communities, is bringing gigabit speed broadband to premises. We have also topped up the UK Government\u2019s Gigabit Voucher scheme, making it the most generous in the UK.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Council Leader, Cllr Huw Thomas, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Cardiff is already established as one of the UK\u2019s creative powerhouses and the sector supports thousands of jobs and contributes over \u00a31 billion to the economy every year. We want to build on that success and help the sector continue to flourish and one way we can do this is by improving the city\u2019s digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n

There is more to be done, but this important funding from Welsh Government<\/a> will enable us to start delivering the connectivity needed by the industry and will also support our ongoing work to harness \u2018smart\u2019 technology to improve day to day life for people who live and work in Cardiff.<\/p>\n

The funding has been welcomed by businesses in the sector. Rich Moss, Managing Director of Gorilla TV, said: \u201cAs Wales\u2019 largest Television Post Production company, Gorilla TV welcomes this technology boost from Welsh Government and commends Cardiff Council for its prioritisation of these infrastructure needs.<\/p>\n

Connectivity has never been so relevant and crucial to our business. Not only is this infrastructure a business necessity but with it comes the opportunity for a more diverse and inclusive talent pool to showcase our creative output to global markets, boosting our industry and the economy of Wales.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
