Naturally several property developers in more remote areas have started to make use of this (e.g. Orkney Builders Limited, E&amp;H Building Contractors Ltd, Macleod Construction Ltd and Calmax Construction).<\/p>\n<p>The new deployments are commercial but build on the core fibre optic infrastructure and \u00a327m of new subsea cables that were laid several years ago as part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitalscotland.org\/superfast-broadband\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Digital Scotland<\/a> (DSSB) project (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2014\/12\/bt-completes-scotlands-subsea-fibre-optic-rollout-project.html\">here<\/a>). As a result some 32 new houses on <strong>Orkney<\/strong>, as well as 30 houses and 16 flats on <strong>Shetland<\/strong> (rising to 80 homes in the future), 20 houses on <strong>Islay<\/strong> and 50 premises on the <strong>Isle of Lewis<\/strong> can now or will soon be connected via &#8220;<em>full fibre<\/em>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>In the grander scheme of things this may seem like a small deployment (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> plan to reach 3 million premises by the end of 2020 and possibly 10 million by c.2025), but that overlooks the big challenges involved with bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> to such areas. The Shetland project alone involved the installation of more than 1,300 metres of cable along the main A970 between Lerwick and Sullom Voe to the site\u2019s entrance.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Andrew Hepburn, Openreach&#8217;s Fibre Delivery Director for Scotland, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve been honing our skills on full-fibre rollout in places like Altnaharra in Sutherland. New, more efficient techniques and equipment we tried out there are now helping us to deliver full-fibre networks to other rural places.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve cracked some challenges to bring FTTP to these island sites, like shipping out specialist equipment to Shetland to blow the delicate, glass fibres through underground piping. When you buy a new home, you expect the best of everything \u2013 and residents will find their new homes are among the best-connected in Scotland.<\/p>\n<p>FTTP provides an unbeatable service for residential broadband,with lots of capacity for data-hungry services and applications, and it\u2019s also great for businesses, giving them all the bandwidth they need to max their online operations and future growth. We\u2019re on a mission to bring decent broadband to everyone in Scotland, and we\u2019ve recently dropped our wholesale prices to help stimulate the fibre broadband market.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Overall engineers have installed around <strong>5,900 metres<\/strong> of new core fibre cabling to reach the new sites, which in theory could in the future also help to spread the ultrafast broadband connectivity to other nearby areas. This marks a welcome change from the older and slower <strong>Fibre-to-the-Cabinet<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/adsl\">ADSL<\/a> services that have tended to dominate such areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A number of Scotland&#8217;s most remote new build home developments, specifically some of those taking place on Orkney, Shetland, Islay and Isle of Lewis, have become some of the first to benefit from a new roll-out of Openreach&#8217;s (BT) 1Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband ISP technology.<\/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":[474,56,69,89],"class_list":["post-17677","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-bt","tag-fttp","tag-bt-openreach","tag-scotland"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 -
