This will allow for services that can support high bandwidth and will enable big data usage in areas which are currently outside of the coverage of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> superfast broadband rollout and other smaller service providers (in particular, in rural areas and non-city centre data centres and technology hubs). It has explained that its network will provide services with superfast and even ultrafast speeds, up to 10GB\/s.<\/p>\n<p>It explained that its initial phase of expansion will include the installation of economic high-speed fibre to its existing cabinets in order to have the core backbone network ready to deliver ultrafast services, as well as the delivery of \u2018last-mile fibre\u2019 (i.e. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) in some areas, including for large scale rural broadband. The Applicant has suggested that it would utilise simplified delivery methods for the \u2018last-mile\u2019 fibre delivery in order to avoid the delays experienced by a number of other operators when deploying fibre.<\/p>\n<p>[NextGenAccess] explained that its fibre delivery network will utilise existing duct and infrastructure, wherever possible, including sewer ducts and BT <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>\u2019s PIA product. However, in some places, it explained that it may nevertheless need to carry out its own works in order to construct its own fibre network.<\/p>\n<p>The Applicant has explained that a key sector that is currently under serviced by BT and the current BDUK broadband rollout is SMEs. As a result, it has previously deployed bespoke <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> solutions to customers in areas whose options are limited to standard broadband or expensive dedicated fibre services and will continue to do so if it obtains Code powers. According to the Applicant, this has allowed businesses served by its network to receive reliable high-speed internet services with speeds of 50Mb\/50Mb at an affordable price.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NextGenAccess is predominantly focused upon catering for Small and Medium Sized Businesses (SME), although it does also cater for some residential consumers within its network footprint. For example, they&#8217;re currently deploying into a small rural hamlet in <strong>Hertfordshire<\/strong> (England), where it intends to deliver 100Mbps+ business grade connectivity for a local charity. However the network will also cater for other local residents in the same area.<\/p>\n<p>As usual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> has proposed to grant the code powers and <a href=\"http:\/\/stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk\/binaries\/consultations\/NextGenAccess\/summary\/ECC-NextGenAccess.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">opened a public consultation<\/a>. Mind you it should be said that such applications are often written in an overly optimistic way in order to make them seem as attractive as possible for the regulator to wave through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>London-based ISP NextGenAccess has hinted at plans to expand its fibre optic based broadband network into more areas that are currently outside the coverage of the BT&#8217;s UK FTTC\/P roll-out, with a particular reference being made to &#8220;rural areas and non-city centre data centres and technology hubs.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[52,55,56,464,36],"class_list":["post-11740","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-fibre-optic","tag-fttc","tag-fttp","tag-hertfordshire","tag-ofcom-regulation"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 -
