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. The community facility will also act as a base for community groups. Full fibre broadband has been installed by Hyperoptic in the three-block development of 360 homes. The project, which is being developed by Scottish Enterprise, will be completed within two years at a cost of £60m. The pilot project also seeks to address fuel poverty by working with Mitsubishi Electric and Glen Dimplex Heating & Ventilation to trial two alternative, more energy-efficient heating systems with a view to replacing electric storage heaters.
