The UK government’s trial to boost the smart Infrastructure Pilots Programme (SIPP) is set to allocate £1.3 million in support of six regions nationwide. These areas will test “intelligent street lamps,” which will be retrofitted to accommodate Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations while enhancing wireless connectivity, spanning broadband, mobile services, 5G, and free public WiFi technology.

This will result in a total investment exceeding £4 million to bolster local connectivity. The government’s contribution stands at £1.3 million, with an additional £2.7 million coming from local authorities.
