Public services across central London are evolving, and the City of London Corporation is leading the way.

Whether you work, live or study in the Square Mile, you’ll soon feel the difference that faster, more dependable connectivity brings.

What is the Future Network Programme?

The City of London Corporation is rolling out the Future Network Programme, a major project to modernise its entire digital infrastructure and bring everything under one unified network.

From offices and schools to iconic green spaces like Hampstead Heath, cultural destinations like the Barbican, and historic markets such as Leadenhall and Old Spitalfields, this upgrade will mean more reliable connectivity across the City’s buildings and public spaces.

It also extends to essential services, including critical sites run by the City of London Police. This enhanced connectivity will support everything from secure communication systems to faster, more resilient networks for emergency operations.

Leading this transformation is Roc Technologies, supported by Juniper Networks and Palo Alto Networks; all powered by the Vorboss fibre network. Together, we’re bringing the City onto a modern digital foundation that’s ready to support its future.

Who the Future Network Programme benefits and how?

The programme is designed for everyone who depends on public services in the Square Mile:

• Students in City-run schools will have fast, reliable connectivity to fully access digital learning tools.

• Public-sector teams will experience smoother hybrid working, better access to online platforms, and more efficient collaboration across locations.

• Residents and visitors will see improvements in public Wi-Fi, digital services, and online access in libraries, community hubs, and other shared spaces.

• The City of London Police will gain a more secure, faster and resilient network that enhances CCTV reliability and enables more effective frontline operations.
