Connecting Cambridgeshire

Connecting Cambridgeshire is improving digital connectivity to drive economic growth, help our businesses and communities to thrive and make it easier to access public services across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.

Hosted by Cambridgeshire County Council and led by the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, the superfast broadband rollout has brought high speed internet access to over 98% of homes and businesses that would not be able to get it otherwise. Work is underway to fill remaining gaps in coverage using the latest fibre to the premises (FTTP) technology.

The ambitious digital connectivity programme is also working to significantly extend public access Wifi and improve mobile coverage, while supporting the delivery of future-proof full fibre and 5G networks.

Our Smart Places programme builds upon the work of Smart Cambridge to explore how data and emerging technology can be used to develop innovative solutions to improve the quality of life in our towns and cities.
