The Independent Networks Co-operative Association<\/a> (INCA) has today said that “delivery of ultrafast broadband to all parts of the UK must continue<\/em>” despite the current COVID-19 lockdown conditions, which have put significant strain on complex supply chains and exasperated the shortage of skilled telecoms engineers.<\/p>\n

At present the Government designates telecommunications under the “key worker<\/em>” category (including but not limited to network operations, field engineering, call centre staff, IT and data infrastructure, 999 and 111 critical services), which means that such people can continue to maintain, repair and roll-out new full fibre (FTTP<\/a>\/H) and other broadband ISP networks.<\/p>\n

In an ideal world the network builders would be able to take advantage of the current reduction in road congestion to make more rapid progress, although as we’ve already explored (here)<\/a>, the situation is rarely quite so simple. Many operators, particularly Openreach<\/a>, have had to scale-back their level of work both to manage the risk of COVID-19 to their workers and also because of the pressure on supply chains.<\/p>\n

For example, it’s all very well being able to continue the build but that doesn’t help if the tarmac supplier has run out or the people who hand out vital permits aren’t at their desks. The actual building work that people see in the streets is thus the end result of a very complicated chain of events and resources, which inevitably slows when one of those key elements hits a wall. Work to resolve these challenges is on-going.<\/p>\n

Malcolm Corbett, INCA’s CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“With lockdown conditions unlikely to be lifted completely for some time to come, people across the country are getting used to working from home and are relying more than ever on the internet for keeping in touch and to provide entertainment as they observe social distancing guidelines.<\/p>\n

Network resilience has been good during the crisis but sharing best practise on the way networks are operated and managed has taken on even greater importance.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In response INCA has announced that their upcoming programme of events, workshops and roadshows will be moving online. The first one of these – Serving the Gigabit Nation<\/strong><\/a> – is due to be held this afternoon (poorly timed as it clashes with the FTTH<\/a> Council Europe’s own webinar event). The virtual workshop will bring together an expert panel of speakers in the industry to look at the underpinning issues of systems, operations, maintenance, service delivery and what applications can run over the top towards developing new gigabit networks.<\/p>\n

Otherwise INCA’s 2020 events programme covers four main themes; predicting and maximising the impact of 5G<\/a>, spreading superfast broadband to rural areas, removing barriers to delivering gigabit digital infrastructure, and helping independent network operators seize the opportunity of full fibre and gigabit digital network deployment. Prices for these events have been reduced to \u00a315+ vat per person to reflect their online nature (using Zoom).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
