The will lay the foundations for further investment in 5G, Wi-Fi and sensor networks. Having excellent digital connectivity is becoming essential tool to help support and grow our regional economy.
Solution
Aberdeen City Council invested £2million in the connection of 57 Aberdeen City Council schools, buildings and community centres through what is known as the City Region Deal Digital strand of work.
