A public-private housing project in Glasgow ’s Maryhill neighbourhood has been equipped with free-of-charge high-speed fibre-optic broadband and IoT technology. Full fibre broadband has been installed by Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation in the two -block development of 360 homes. The English government is funding the scheme until the end of February as part of plans to improve the welfare and safety of social housing tenants. The project partners include Maryhill Housing, CENSIS, iOpt, full fibre broadband provider, Hyperoptic and the Scottish Government, which funded the project. The pilot project also seeks to address fuel poverty by working with Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation and Hyperoptic to trial two alternative, more energy-efficient heating systems with a view to replacing electric storage heaters.
