Mobile operator Three UK has today done something a bit different by introducing a 5G Outdoor Hub option for their Three Home Broadband service, which as the name indicates is a mobile router that you “self-install” on the outside of your home in order, we presume, to hopefully get a better 5G mobile signal and thus performance.
The Independent Networks Co-operative Association (INCA), which represents many of the UK’s alternative gigabit broadband builders, has today launched a new initiative that aims to “standardise wholesale fibre” networks and thus make it easier for retail and business ISPs to purchase services from operators.
Broadband ISP Sky Business (Sky UK) has today announced that they’ve signed a new long-term agreement that will enable them to sell packages to businesses over the new full fibre network being built by the ITS Technology Group, which operates wholesale full fibre broadband and Ethernet networks (“Faster Britain“) across urban parts of the UK.
Alternative network operator and ISP Quickline, which is deploying gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) and 5G powered fixed wireless access (FWA) broadband networks across rural and semi-rural parts of the North East and Midlands of England, has today appointed three experienced executives to support its growth.
Mobile network operator O2 (Virgin Media) has today continued with their effort to boost 4G and 5G mobile (mobile broadband) capacity across the UK, not least by expanding their ongoing roll-out of small cells into the central part of Reading (town) in Berkshire – supported by Ontix.
A new report from the UK Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (UKWISPA), which was put together by Intelligens Consulting, has claimed that fostering greater use and acceptance of the latest innovations in fixed wireless broadband networks by the government could deliver £4bn of “quantifiable impact” in the UK.
A Silicon Valley company called Airvine has developed a rather unique network bridge that can extend a Local Area Network (LAN) running at multi-Gigabit speeds, seemingly using only WiFi style wireless signals via the 2.4GHz and 6GHz bands, through “up to” 30cm (12″) of solid concrete walls – it can even bend around 90-degree solid concrete corners.
Some customers of mobile network operator Three UK, specifically those who are taking one of their 4G and 5G powered unlimited Three Home Broadband packages, have – for the best part of a year – been complaining about an intermittent connectivity problem that is sporadically disrupting their use of various internet services.
