Partnership “supercharges” London’s smart, connected roadmap

Shared communications infrastructure company Boldyn Networks and full-fibre provider G.Network are partnering to fast-track London’s vision for a better-connected city and help it to become a leading global smart city.

They will create a new high-speed fibre network across London, improve mobile coverage through the deployment of small-cell units in busy areas of the city, and bring 4G and 5G to the underground sections of the Tube and Elizabeth line for the first time.

Smarter London Together roadmap

The two organisations reckon the partnership will help “supercharge” the Smarter London Together roadmap developed by the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and his chief digital officer (CDO), Theo Blackwell, by enhancing connectivity and optimising city services as well as fostering sustainable development.

“Ensuring access to robust and reliable digital infrastructure is vital for London and this partnership between Boldyn Networks and G.Network is a significant step in realising our vision,” said Blackwell. “The mayor is committed to create a city that leverages technology to boost connectivity, services, and sustainability making the capital a better, safer and more prosperous city for all.”

The new partnership combines Boldyn’s expertise in smart infrastructure development with G.Network’s full-fibre broadband and will see the two companies develop and deploy solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of Londoners, businesses, and communities.
