Connecting Cambridgeshire

Connecting Cambridgeshire is improving the county’s digital connectivity to drive economic growth, help our communities to thrive and make it easier to access public services.

Led by Cambridgeshire County Council, the superfast broadband rollout has already brought high speed internet access to thousands of homes and businesses that would not be able to get it otherwise, and is aiming to reach over 98% of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by the end of 2020 (subject to COVID-19), with a fourth phase of the rollout already in progress to fill remaining gaps in coverage over the next 18 months.

The ambitious digital programme is now being extended to significantly improve mobile, broadband and public Wifi coverage, while securing future proof full fibre and 5G networks, over the next four years.

Our Smart Cambridge programme is also exploring how data and emerging technology can be used to develop innovative solutions to improve the quality of life in our towns and cities.
