8152 ICEE Managed Services’ new roadside cabinet design has the power modules in an integrated but separate enclosure to the side of the main enclosure for the switches, servers and other processing equipment. According to the company this allows the power supply to be pre-wired and positions it higher in the cabinet to minimise the risk of water damage.

The cabinet sits on a standard 610 plinth and provides front and rear access to the servers and the two section can be locked with different keys to limit access to appropriate personnel.

The company is also producing a new design of racking system for Brompton Bike Hire. Eight of the folding bicycles fit into 'lockers' in the vandal-resistant and the solar- and/or mains-powered cabinet and additional bays can be added if required.

Users hire and drop off bicycles via a text message to Brompton which then sends a message to the appropriate cabinet to release or accept a bicycle.

Dublin City Council’s vision is to create a city where people of all ages and abilities have the confidence, incentive and facilities to cycle. On-road cycle lanes had already been incorporated into the Quality Bus Corridors design and there is a mix of on- and off-road cycle routes. However, in 2010 the Council began work on a new
