“Sensors will be placed along the A14 between Felixstowe and Cambridge – approximately 70 miles long – creating a 'smart road' which could transmit data on traffic movement.

“Telecomms watchdog Ofcom has announced that the UK will become one of the first countries in the world to road-test "white space" technology, which sends signals over the gaps between television channels rather than the mobile phone network.
