Perth & Kinross Council has recently announced the completion of its full-fibre network project launched in partnership with business-to-business connectivity provider Neos Network. 

 

The gigabit-capable connectivity project, which started in November, aims to facilitate the next-generation technologies that are crucial to futureproofing businesses in the area and the local community. It connects 31 public buildings, three key council-owned data centres and community establishments across Perth. 

 

The project, which received £1million in funding from the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Local Full Fibre Network programme, connects buildings close to an existing 10km duct network owned by the council and used for CCTV and traffic lights, among others. 

 

Peter Asman, managing director for public sector and enterprise at Neos Networks, said: “The importance of effective collaboration and constant customer contact has been key to the success of this project,”

 

“Working in conjunction with Perth & Kinross council has been outstanding and is a prime example of how public sector bodies and service providers can work in partnership to transform society and secure a gigabit-capable digital future for the community.

 

“The joint effort from everybody involved has helped us complete the project on time and to a high standard. We are all very excited to see the benefits that our deployed full-fibre connectivity can bring to the region.”
