Cisco has today announced that it has been chosen by O2 to spearhead a project that will roll-out free, public access Wi-Fi in the City of London. The initiative, also in conjunction with Cornerstone Telecommunication Infrastructure (CTIL) and the City of London Corporation, will see Cisco deploying next generation outdoor access point technology to offer internet connectivity to more than 400,000 people working in the Square Mile.

The project will replace the current service provided by The Cloud and will be fully operational by Autumn 2017.

The multi-million pound project will be one of the largest investments in wireless infrastructure ever seen in London and will be supported by Cisco's Aironet 1560 Series, which will provide the throughput capacity needed for today's bandwidth-hungry devices
