City Centre Networks
Dedicated 5G infrastructure for urban areas
City centres need reliable, high-capacity connectivity for businesses, public services, and visitors. Public 5G networks get congested. Our private networks provide dedicated capacity that doesn't slow down at peak times.
How It Works
Dedicated Capacity
Your network, your bandwidth. No sharing with thousands of public users during busy periods.
Ultra-Low Latency
Private 5G delivers consistent sub-10ms latency for real-time applications, CCTV, and IoT deployments.
Heritage-Friendly Installation
Discreet equipment that respects listed buildings and conservation areas. We work with local planning authorities.
Multi-Tenant Support
One network can serve multiple businesses, reducing costs and complexity for everyone in the area.
What You Get
- Guaranteed bandwidth allocation
- Network slicing for different use cases
- Integration with existing IT infrastructure
- SLA-backed uptime guarantees
- Future-proof technology
Common questions
How does private 5G help in a busy UK city centre?
Public 5G in city centres is congested at peak times — traders, visitors, transit, events all share the same operator capacity. A private 5G network gives a city, BID or council dedicated capacity for civic, business and public-realm use that does not contend with retail consumer traffic.
Can it work with smart city or IoT applications?
Yes — that is one of the highest-value use cases. Air quality sensors, smart parking, traffic counters, public-realm CCTV, and connected litter or lighting can all run on a single private 5G network rather than disparate proprietary connectivity. Cheaper to operate and easier to extend.
Does the equipment fit on listed or heritage buildings?
Yes. Modern 5G radios are small (often the size of a large book) and can be mounted discreetly. We work with local planning authorities and heritage officers up front; in conservation areas we typically use sympathetic colour-matched units placed where they sit comfortably with the building.
Who pays — councils, landlords, or the businesses that use it?
It varies. Some city-centre deployments are funded by councils as public infrastructure; some by BIDs as a service to members; some by landlords providing connectivity to tenants; some by Aerix where there is a clear commercial demand. We are flexible on commercial structure.
How is this different from the public 5G operators?
Public 5G is shared with millions of consumer subscribers and the operator decides where coverage goes. Private 5G is a network you (or the city) own commercially — coverage exactly where you need it, dedicated capacity, and policy you control. The two complement each other rather than compete.
