Slough: Angie Networks to deliver wireless gigabit connectivity and Smart City services

“Angie is working closely with Slough to bring cutting edge technology to Slough and its surrounding area. Slough is strategically placed as a leading business hub here in the UK,” said Bob Snowden, Angie Networks’ CEO, “We are working with Slough and partners to bring the latest smart city technology to the area. Angie will finance the entire project, ensuring that Slough will have all the benefits and none of the financial or operational risks. Slough got the best deal possible for its residents and businesses.”

Angie has signed a deal with Colt and Zayo, two of the largest fibre and communications operators in the United Kingdom, to build fibre infrastructure to provide Slough neighbourhoods with high-speed broadband, using their existing infrastructure. The connectivity for the last hundred feet and into homes and business will be done through wireless technology, using outdoor wireless access points. Angie claims that the wireless network will be “beyond 5G-ready”.
