Silicon Stoke – Full Fibre Network

Vision


Significant progress with the Citywide Full Fibre Network is positioning Stoke-on-Trent as a trailblazer in the UK by adopting the open-access model.


Description


The city council own 113km of the network which spans an impressive 1,168km, covering roughly 90% of all businesses and residents. This is a future-proof Point to Point (PtP) network, capable of delivering high-speed, gigabit-plus symmetric services.


Businesses and residential will benefit from Freedom Fibre, a fibre operator committed to investing in and implementing the Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) infrastructure. Businesses have already seen benefits with 5G small cell deployment improving mobile networks and improved speeds through the gigabit network.


Opportunity


This infrastructure is enabling the council to deliver innovative projects, bringing socio/economic benefits to the city. This includes weather monitoring to make informed decisions on services such as gritting, AI Road Condition Surveys which is used to identify road defects such as potholes, cracks, and surface wear with speed and precision and also gulley sensors which allow for early detection of flood issues.


Connection of council homeless units will allow residents to access super-fast broadband. Care homes have been able to trial innovative technologies such as digital care records, acoustic monitoring and integrated falls management systems with benefits of a high-speed network.


Our Silicon Stoke Prospectus establishes the strategic vision and framework for making Stoke-on-Trent the most digitally advanced city in the UK.
