Working and advising the LCRCA Digital Team to develop an adoption strategy for an LCR-wide advance wireless strategy, we established the Open Access Agreement principles across all six Local Authority areas.
Over an 8-month period we led the team and developed a strategic plan engaging with mobile network infrastructure suppliers, local authority planning teams and LCRCA strategic leads to produce guidance and agreements to help increase 4G/5G connectivity across the City Region.
We provided expertise and knowledge of the emerging 5G advanced connectivity opportunities and the economic advantage this would provide to LCR. We supported the team to develop and communicate guidance cumulating in a detailed briefing to senior stakeholders across the region, advise and support for highways, planning and economic development teams and establishing a baseline open access agreement.
This was shared with Legal teams and forms the basis for future adoption.
