WESSEX DIA

Wessex DIA (Wessex Digital Infrastructure Accelerator) is a £500,000 government funded pilot aimed at understanding how digital asset management platforms can play a part in encouraging the rollout of critical telecommunications infrastructure in rural areas. By mapping different types of publicly owned assets and coverage data, we are hoping to prove that the management of these platforms by a Local Authority can benefit people that live and work in Dorset as well as the telecommunications companies and the Council. Wessex DIA will work in partnership with a number of the UK's leading mobile network deployment specialists to produce a "joined up" proof of concept for an asset portal... This pilot project aims to show that the process is efficient, manageable and benefits all parties... Working to improve mobile connectivity in rural communities
