Technology Marches on
Sep 14, 2014There is now an accepted way of bringing SFBB to those areas with phone lines direct from the exchange (‘Exchange only lines’) Good news for the likes of Bouth in our Parish which is connected this way.
Trials are currently taking place in North Yorkshire amongst other places of a new bit of kit: Fibre to Remote Node (FTTrN). These nodes, which can be mounted on poles act like tiny street cabinets – serving about 20 premises and have the potential to bring SFBB and speeds above 24 Mb/s within economic reach. We need to make sure that Cumbria benefits from this technological advance.
Look out for the next post which will detail what is happening after Phase 1 of Connecting Cumbria finishes – things are hotting up! To be notified of future postings, click on https://postleorg.coffeecup.com/api/sdrive/subscription/add/29354/ or on the tab at the bottom of each posting.
