Planning is under way to connect a housing development site in Gateshead to the super fast broadband service of 100Mbps, under development in the Gateshead Technology Innovations laboratory. The research firm develops this technology for there Baltic Business Quarter of the vicinity. The Brownfield site that belongs to the former Freightliner depot is situated near Gateshead town centre.

This depot is one amongst the ninteen sites in Gateshead that has been chosen for future housing development.

In fact, Gateshead Council had last year announced that it had already clubbed with Alcatel-Lucent Telecoms for effectuating a connection between Baltic Business Quarter and the international broadband business highway.

Mick Henry, the chief of Gateshead council recently said that the Baltic Business Quarter was blossoming into the greatest communication infrastructure available in the United Kingdom today. He added that the system was developed particularly to pull top quality creative jobs along with major employers to Gateshead.

He also stated that he believed that it would pose simple comparatively, to extend this system to the other areas in the vicinity, apart from offering the householders the potential access to some of the most powerful, as well as the fastest broadband in the world. He visualises a tremendous new development that can transcend the housing potential in this area comprehensively, and convert the Freightliner site into one of the most coveted locations in the region.
