United Kingdom’s Chesham market town in Buckinghamshire will be the first in world to get a ‘smart’ pavement with super-fast public WiFi free for all its residents. 

UK-based Virgin Media is overseeing the installation of this WiFi network and according to a report in Telegraph UK, the smart WiFi pavement will benefit “Chesham’s high street and parts of Lowndes Park.” According to a press statement from Virgin Media, the company is promising download speeds of up to 166 Mbps and they can download a 634 MB file in less than 35 seconds, which should cover favorite TV episodes for many.

Virgin Media adds that the “Smart Pavement” will connect directly to the company’s fibre network and provides the ultra-fast WiFi via a submerged access point which is placed beneath a specially developed resin cover. It is also rainproof and the company adds that the access point uses a “mixture of the latest tech including fibre optic cabling and superior DOCSIS 3 technology.” According to Virgin Media, the WiFi will be accessible even at distances of up to 80 metres. 

“Not only is this the first time we’ve built metropolitan WiFi directly from our street cabinets, it is also the UK’s first deployment of a WiFi connected pavement,” said Gregor McNeil, Managing Director of Consumer at Virgin Media in a press statement. 

The pilot is available to all 21,000 residents and businesses of Chesham.
