Action

APG and Whitehelm Capital, via the smart City Infrastructure Fund, are addressing the need for better connectivity and more efficient city management. They have agreed to partner with SiFi Networks American Ltd (“SiFi”) to invest over $75million in the deployment of Smart-City ready digital infrastructure in the City of Fullerton, California - the largest privately funded open access fibre network by SiFi in North America. The roll-out of FiberCity™, SiFi’s Network’s next generation of telecommunications, in Fullerton will not only provide a significant upgrade to internet speeds and accommodate a growing demand for data from next generation devices in households and busineses, but it will also facilitate the proliferation of new Smart City solutions in key urban services as well as providing a platform for the future expansion of 5G mobile and IoT networks into the area. The Smart City Infrastructure Fund – the first of its kind globally – was established by APG and Whitehelm Capital in November 2018 to provide long-term funding for Smart City infrastructure projects enabling cities and communities to become more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The Fund was launched with in initial commitment of €250 million from APG.
