Smart Infrastructure Pilots Programme

Published on June 27, 2023

This programme supports the implementation of our UK Wireless Infrastructure Strategy, which sets out a clear vision for how advanced wireless infrastructure can become an integral part of the fabric of the UK’s economy and society by 2030, and how we want people, business and public services across the UK to realise the full benefits of 5G and other advanced wireless connectivity.

Projects applying to this competition are expected to address and meet the primary competition objective of improving the understanding and realisation of the benefits of utilising street furniture and other assets for network deployment. The competition is focused on applying the PAS 191 standard to the design and procurement of new smart infrastructure for local authorities.

The programme aims to help promote greater knowledge of future demand and requirements for infrastructure and services, as well create efficiencies in network rollout; new opportunities across the supply chain; and innovative commercial models for deploying infrastructure.
