## Description

Large-scale urban deployment of Connected Autonomous Vehicle \(CAV\) services will drive demand for highly-secure, highly-ubiquitous, ultra-high-bandwidth, ultra-high-density and ultra-low-latency connectivity to safely enable the service\. Delivering this quickly, cost-effectively and without disruption will require a different deployment approach\. Our innovative project will address this challenge through the design and development of new shared street cell technology, creating a new product - StreetCAV - specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of CAV and other autonomous services and promoting a shared infrastructure, multi-service model providing cost-effective connectivity to support a range of different services across 'hidden' street-side technology as part of a public- or private- 5G network\. As autonomous services, such as self-driving vehicles, drone and robots expand and scale, digital convergence, everything-to-everything and data anywhere connectivity become increasingly important, and ultimately need to be considered as part of city-wide infrastructure planning\. Our new StreetCAV solution will provide a future-proofed wireless infrastructure capability, optimising the overall infrastructure footprint, deploying in a way that supports a many-to-one scenario, and providing enabling connectivity that underpins a range of services, either on a commercial or not-for-profit basis\. As well as technical solution delivery, we will establish, test and develop new commercial approaches, supporting municipalities in their ambitions to deploy ever-richer, connected citizen services, re-imagining how municipalities can leverage their street-side assets, re-thinking the approach to infrastructure provision, and creating new and innovative operating models for the future, creating benefits for citizens, visitors, service providers and service operators alike\.
