Houghton Le Spring (Sunderland)-based telecoms and IT provider Affinity Systems Limited (Rymote) has revealed tentative plans to expand a gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to “serve people and businesses” in rural areas in the North East of England.

London-focused broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which has already covered 307,000 UK homes (and 12,000 businesses) with their 3Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, has discounted their package prices and doubled the speed on two of their ultrafast products for new customers.

The team working on Project Taara at Google’s X technology lab have successfully overcome traditional challenges with signal reliability to demonstrate a new laser-based wireless optical communications link that can deliver data at speeds of up to 20Gbps (Gigabits per second) over distances of up to 20 kilometres.
