Great to see the innovative CORE project showcased at Cambridge Tech Week's Innovation Alley and Connected Britain this week. This DSIT-funded initiative aims to trial and showcase innovative 5G use cases in Cambridge through a secure private network. We're working with partners to develop a cutting-edge 5G platform for high-density areas. Our small cell solutions will play a key role in bringing reliable, high-speed private 5G to select businesses and applications. The private network approach ensures dedicated performance, enhanced security, and tailored connectivity solutions not possible with public cellular networks.

From shopping to museums or colleges to medieval ruins, Reading town centre just got a major connectivity upgrade after Ontix and Virgin Media O2 deployed the first small cells across the town. Residents and visitors will see a boost to their 4G mobile service as small cells increase network capacity in some of the busiest areas across the borough, including for the 20 million people that pass through Reading Station and over a million through the Oracle Shopping Centre each year. By using small cells that are quick and easy to deploy, Virgin Media O2 customers will benefit from improved coverage faster than would otherwise be possible. Ontix is working with the operator on a rollout across the country.  Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/e8JZCQci #VMO2 #Connectivity #SmallCells #Ontix #4G

This June, two of London’s most-loved, free-entry public events, Pride In London and West End Live 2024, benefitted from outdoor Wi-Fi connectivity provided by Ontix over two consecutive weekends at the iconic hotspot Trafalgar Square. Over 70,000 musical theatre fans attended West End Live this year to see a star-studded lineup of West End musicals, and over 32,000 took part in the Pride in London parade alone, with thousands more visiting.  Ontix’s freely available public Wi-Fi network, installed on surrounding street furniture like lampposts, carried over 100GB of data for Pride in London and 130GB for West End Live, equivalent to over a month’s worth of video streaming. Visitors could access Ontix’s Wi-Fi to stream, transact, download, upload and communicate without the risk of slowing down network traffic. We also supported the organisers of West End Live with a private Fixed Wireless Access network, providing them with a vital connectivity boost to maintain the continuous operation of critical infrastructure and key event facilities, such as CCTV and EPOS (electronic point of sale) systems. #WestEndLive24 #PrideInLondon #Ontix #PublicWifi #PrivateWifi #Connectivity Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ea_jpS7q

The Ontix team were busy on a beautiful evening in Trafalgar Square yesterday making sure the organisers of West End Live 2024 this weekend have sufficient connectivity for the operation of key event facilities. The team deployed units on stage and on street furniture around Trafalgar, such as lampposts, to ensure boosted connectivity for the organisers of the free entry, open-air musical event in collaboration with Westminster City Council Council and for sponsors including TikTok. The network will enable the effective operation of key event facilities, such as CCTV and EPOS (electronic point of sale) systems, supporting organisers in efficiently, successfully and securely running the event and prevent any network over-burdening. Over 65,000 musical theatre fans will be attending to see a star-studded lineup of live West End Musicals, from Disney’s Frozen to Six The Musical, and Ontix’s technology will ensure everyone can stream, access, download and upload easily at the event with free access to public wifi. #Connectivity #PublicWifi #WestEndLive #Ontix
