Pioneering The Future and Safety of Advanced Connectivity
The vision was very clear from the start. Boldyn Networks wanted to create a repeatable Smart City blueprint that brings an agile and dynamic way of designing and deploying network infrastructure while delivering high standards of health and safety. They also wanted to ensure that they foster long-term relationships with civic leaders and suppliers who bring innovative solutions.
Smart city deployments’ health and safety challenges require a strong handle on bringing civic and existing technology service providers together to agree on one set of standards. Standards which are repeatable and easy to remember and communicate when speaking to a member of the public or civic leaders.

Programme Manager, WHP Telecoms
I was introduced to PSM via the Sunderland Smart City works.
From the start I found their approach to Health and Safety and Project delivery refreshing.
Instead of the normal, there was a determination to work together to coach and mentor and explore all avenues whilst still maintaining high standards of Health and Safety and Communication.
