Thursday, Oct 2nd, 2025 (5:06 pm) - Score 0The Swansea Bay City Deal’s Digital Infrastructure Programme has today announced the completion of their £1.9m Full Fibre Infrastructure Build project with BT, which has helped to upgrade 69 key public sector sites with “future proofed” broadband connectivity. The UK and Welsh Governments gave approval for a £55m digital infrastructure investment under the £1.3bn Swansea Bay City Region project back in 2021 (here), which among other things aimed to expand full fibre and 5G mobile connectivity to benefit homes and businesses across Carmarthenshire, Neath Port Talbot, Pembrokeshire and Swansea. Several digital infrastructure projects are already taking place under this programme, including the £1.9m contract with BT that was delivered via the Public Sector Broadband Aggregation (PSBA) scheme. This aimed to provide improved broadband provision to public sector sites across the region via a secure Wide Area Network (WAN). The project is also expected to stimulate further commercial investment, which could potentially help to accelerate the rollout of full fibre broadband networks across the region.
