The Brighton and Hove City Council<\/a> (BHCC) in East Sussex has agreed to invest \u00a31.66m into a new 3 mile long fibre optic ring network in the centre of Brighton, which will be used to connect up key public sector sites in the city centre with the Brighton Digital Exchange (BDX) and a 5G<\/a> mobile test bed at New England House.<\/p>\n

The new Research and Innovation Fibre Ring<\/strong> (R&IR) network will initially be owned by the city council, with space leased to a co-operative of local digital businesses to drive community wealth building. In terms of funding some \u00a3333,000 will come from the council, with \u00a3499,000 from businesses and the rest from the Coast to Capital Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP); total funding of \u00a31,665,293<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The match funding from the city council is proposed to be made up of offering the BDX a further 3 years of rent free space in New England House (worth approx. \u00a350,000) and paying a portion of the fibre build costs. The council will receive an asset in the form of fibre infrastructure that will save its own connection costs in the vicinity and will also receive a rental income.<\/p>\n

The city council is also said to be exploring related options for the roll-out of full fibre (FTTP<\/a>) broadband across the city in order to connect homes and smaller businesses, although initially their focus will remain on providing further fibre in the city centre (Dark Fibre). The proposed route map gives some idea of where this is likely to go.<\/p>\n

\"brighton<\/p>\n

The fibre spine will be operated by a cooperatively owned host for the mutual benefit of engaged businesses and public sector bodies. “This will create a valuable core network that ISPs and operators, including new, smaller disruptive providers, can invest in and build out from<\/em>,” said the council’s report.<\/p>\n

As part of ensuring the city council ends up in a cost neutral position, the co-operative will commit to buy the asset after renting fibre in the duct for a period of 15 years. In the long run the council predicts that the new network will ultimately pay for itself, not least by generating an estimated \u00a3115m for the local economy over 10 years.<\/p>\n

However it’s worth noting that the majority of the city is already covered by Openreach<\/a>’s (BT<\/a>) ultrafast broadband G.fast<\/a> network and Virgin Media<\/a>’s 1Gbps capable cable infrastructure is similarly present across an even larger area. On top of that Openreach<\/a> has already announced that Brighton is on their “Fibre First<\/em>” FTTP<\/a> roll-out by March 2021, although we’ve yet to see any work begin.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that the economic benefits probably haven’t been weighted against the presence of such existing and future networks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
