The key requirement of the wireless concession network is to: Enhance the cellular/next generation wireless infrastructure as widely as is commercially feasible across the City of London. Extend and improve cellular capacity to ensure the provision of optimum coverage across the Square Mile to meet increasing data needs. The coverage of the network will be driven solely by commercial considerations.

The option for the Concessionaire to provide a Wi-Fi network in the City of London may become available in 2017, subject to ordinary procurement due diligence. The Cloud’s contract with the Corporation for provision of Wi-Fi services runs until 2017, with a five year extension option to 2022 based upon the Corporation being satisfied with current service levels.
