The UK government’s new Smart Infrastructure Pilots Programme (SIPP) has committed \u00a31.3 million to help six areas across the country to trial “smart street lamps<\/em>“, which will be upgraded to house both Electric Vehicle (EV) charging hubs and boost wireless coverage (broadband and mobile), including via 5G<\/a> or free public WiFi<\/a> technology.<\/p>\n

The successful pilots will all be expected to match the government’s own funding, pushing total investment to over \u00a34 million to help boost local connectivity. The government will provide \u00a31.3 million, while the local authorities will invest a further \u00a32.7 million.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The pilots will begin from October 2023 and run until 31st March 2025.<\/div>\n

The Six Trial Authorities<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Cambridgeshire County Council (\u00a3220,000)
\nTees Valley Combined Authority (\u00a3202,500)
\nRoyal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (\u00a3245,700)
\nWestminster City Council (\u00a3165,000)
\nOxfordshire County Council (\u00a3250,000)
\nNorth Ayrshire Council (\u00a3242,765)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The pilots themselves can be adapted to carry out a range of functions – from charging EVs to monitoring air quality, and displaying public information to saving energy with street lighting – that will enable councils and combined authorities to unlock new opportunities and improve public services.<\/p>\n

By trialling different uses across these areas, the aim is to show how modern wireless technology can become an integral part of UK infrastructure, connecting public services and businesses in new ways to realise the full benefits of 5G<\/a> and other advanced connectivity methods.<\/p>\n

Sir John Whittingdale, Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The way we stay in touch, access information and do business is underpinned by digital connectivity – and a world-class wireless infrastructure will be the foundation for the jobs, skills, and services of the future.<\/p>\n

We want to ensure that towns and cities across the UK are right at the forefront of this connectivity revolution, ready to seize the opportunities it will bring for local communities, which is exactly what these pilots are about.<\/p>\n

They will help demonstrate how advanced wireless technology can enable areas to innovate and deliver better public services, from rolling out electric vehicle chargers to boosting business growth and helping keep our streets safe.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The idea of harnessing lamp posts to boost mobile network coverage or charge EVs is by no means a new concept, and both have already been tried before, albeit usually only by limited commercial projects (e.g. Ubitricity’s EV chargers). But the new trials could see such solutions being adopted more widely and will also help to test the application of the British Standards Institute Publicly Available Standard 191 (PAS 191) for designing and acquiring new smart infrastructure by local authorities.<\/p>\n

The SIPP programme is a separate, but complimentary initiative to the 5G<\/a> Innovation Regions that was announced in April, forming part of DSIT\u2019s wider programme to drive 5G adoption across the UK and is also being supported by the Department for Transport (DfT).<\/p>\n

UPDATE 12:05pm<\/strong><\/p>\n

Boldyn Networks has revealed that they’re the ones partnering with Kingston Council to roll out a smart infrastructure pilot across the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames. The project will deploy smart columns to boost mobile connectivity (this is often made accessible to all mobile operators via wholesale).<\/p>\n

Each column will host small cells to enhance digital connectivity and improve CCTV camera quality. The cameras will not be used for traffic purposes, but will enhance public safety through their deterrence of criminal and anti-social behaviour. <\/p>\n

Kingston Council will deploy approximately 20 CCTV sites with the new smart columns, and the design also allows the potential to add Internet of Things (IoT) sensors to better manage borough services, including the monitoring of road usage, footfall and air quality.<\/p>\n

As part of the project, Boldyn Networks will install a 10.4km fibre ring across the borough that will provide the newly installed smart columns with high-speed connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
