The Northumberland County Council look set to approve an investment of \u00a3537,000 via the Government’s \u00a3200m Rural Gigabit Connectivity<\/a> (RGC) programme, which will help 18 additional primary schools in rural parts of the county to get an “ultrafast gigabit capable<\/em>” broadband ISP connection installed.<\/p>\n

Some of the schools on this list were already announced as being among the first to benefit last year (here<\/a> and here<\/a>), although most of them are new additions.<\/p>\n

One obvious bonus of this investment is that the surrounding premises in these communities, particularly any that currently lack access to ultrafast speeds, may also benefit by enabling future ISPs to harness the new fibre to connect local homes and businesses (via additional investment).<\/p>\n

Overall 18 primary schools across Northumberland were selected using a variety of criteria, which considers rurality, location and commerciality (see document<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Council Report<\/strong><\/p>\n

The primary aim is to connect the selected rural primary schools to an ultrafast gigabit capable connection. This will provide the schools with the capability to receive anywhere up to 1,000 Mbps download speed service to their building.<\/p>\n

The move to a gigabit fibre connection would improve the connectivity to the school, access to online resources and save time through more efficient ways of working.<\/p>\n

The connection would also potentially benefit surrounding communities with the fibre infrastructure installed making future build costs cheaper for the area. Select nearby buildings would also benefit from the installation if they are connected to the same infrastructure.<\/p>\n

The costs that are being covered by the DfE are for a new fibre cable to be installed into each school. This can be very expensive to do under normal circumstances and is the main barrier to access faster connections. Rural locations are usually the most expensive to install these cables so the selected schools will benefit greatly<\/p>\n

The Service charges and line rental will continue to be paid by the School and not funded by DfE.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A final decision will be taken at a cabinet meeting on 8th September next week, but approval of the plan is virtually guaranteed. Sadly, the document doesn’t mentioned a time-scale for the related deployment.<\/p>\n
