EE Provides Tech City with 80Mbps 4G Services

London's digital technology hub, Tech City, will get access to EE's 4G services with a top speed of 80Mbps, and average speeds of 24-30Mbps.

EE and Tech City said that the new partnership will enable the tech hub to be better connected as they bid to attract more interest and investment in the UK from around the world.

 EE will also open up network APIs to application developers of accredited Tech City firms, which it said would accelerate time to market.

Joanna Shields, CEO of Tech City, said that the 4G services would "provide businesses with unique opportunities to build, test, and develop the digital products and services of the future".

"This game-changing investment will catalyse the next wave of innovation and creativity in digital and tech businesses connect them to new markets around the world and support the growth of our brightest and best businesses," she added.

Olaf Swantee, CEO at EE said: "Our partnership with Tech City is designed to ensure UK businesses have the tools that they need to thrive, and to take the UK into a position as a world leader for technology, innovation and entrepreneurship".

On the back of the announcement, the UK's biggest mobile operator - and only operator to currently offer 4G services in the UK - claimed that London has already surpassed New York City for mobile data speeds.

In April, EE announced that it would be doubling speeds of its 4G in 10 cities, including London. It promised speeds of 130Mbps on 4G-enabled devices in these cities by the end of summer 2013. This will then be supplemented "beyond" this time by even faster speeds, which it says will reach as high as 300Mbps.
