• Close collaboration with local councils
• Open access model embraced
• No exclusivity requirements

• Unique UK wide fibre and duct database
• Based on infrastructure from the top UK fibre providers
and our partners
• Combined resource provides a major development for
deploying 5G ready infrastructure
• Critical tool for creating a viable business case for
outdoor small cells
Minimise new civil
works
Establish duct

• Crowd sourced mobile performance data available
from all mobile operators
• Currently only 4G – 5G will be available in 2020
• Coverage and quality levels establish service
improvement areas for targeting Small Cells
• Coverage good – QoS is poor – impact on user experience

How to achieve hyperconnected cities
12
Data CentresFibreTowers Small Cells InBuilding
End to End Digital Infrastructure
Hyperconnected
Cities
Need a full mix of assets to provide a truly
pervasive solution
High deployment cost
demands sharing of
infrastructure
Understanding the locations of high
data use areas ensure QoS is
maintained
Collaboration and
partnerships are key for
securing assets
Systems need to consider future
proof requirements and scaling for
mMTC and URLLC
Interference
mitigation – for
better QoS
5G is key
But pervasive WiFi 6 and
4G are still required
Private 5G and mmWave
spectrum will transform wireless –
high focus for InBuilding
Fibre is critical – innovation is
required to secure assets with
lower civil connection costs
Need to conceal systems and
place equipment sympathetically and
lower to the ground
