What councils ask us

Deployment and maintenance of Street Hubs is funded by revenue from advertising on the digital displays. There’s no cost to the taxpayer, national or local.

BT acquired the digital street unit assets from InLink Limited in December 2019.

Our wi-fi experience is designed to be consistent with the content filters used by UK internet service providers (ISPs) to ensure safety and child protection while using wi-fi in a public space.

Not as standard, but they can be added to capture data such as air and noise pollution, outdoor temperature and eventually traffic conditions. This could be used for new smart services for local councils and communities based on the Internet of Things.

Street Hub is owned and managed by BT.

Technology changes in the blink of an eye, so Street Hubs are custom-built to keep up with the latest technologies and user experience trends with a modular design and updates through the network.
