Thames Water and SSE Enterprise Telecoms partner for 'fibre in the sewers' project

摘要

Thames Water and SSE Enterprise Telecoms are partnering to install fibre optic cables in the capital's wastewater system. The agreement is expected to allow networks to be created up to ten times faster, "more directly and securely" using the existing wastewater system in business areas such as the City of London. Connectivity supplier SSE Enterprise Telecoms has signed an 'operating licence to deploy' agreement with Thames Water, which will enable the distribution of its fibre optic cables throughout Thame's Water's wastewater network.
