π Hyperoptic pioneers smart-home connection π Weβre pleased to announce our new partnership with Sero, Cardiff Council, and Wates Group to pilot a new proof of concept solution to support smart home equipment. On the Aspen Grove development on the site of the former Eastern high school on Newport Road, part of the Councilβs flagship Cardiff Living housing development scheme with Wates Residential, each property will be connected with a second low-bandwidth line, which will be dedicated to support Seroβs smart equipment and will be inaccessible by the resident for internet access.
