As a result, it&#8217;s not uncommon for operators to work around this by overlaying the damaged section with their own duct, which is also a costly endeavour and carries the catch that the new duct will not be open for other operators to use. In some areas this can result in an awkward patchwork of different ducts between PIA sections.<\/p>\n<p>The PoC appears to indicate an approach where the new duct could be built for Openreach, using funds from the blockage budget. In theory, this would appear to be a quicker and more efficient approach, which may bring cost savings and ensure that the benefits of such work can be shared. However, this doesn&#8217;t appear to extend to situations where new duct has to be built because the existing ducts are full (as opposed to blocked \/ damaged).<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 5:12pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Openreach has informed us that this PoC doesn&#8217;t go live until <strong>2nd February 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openreach has announced a new &#8216;Proof of Concept&#8216; (PoC) to test a change to the current Network Adjustment process in their Physical Infrastructure Access (PIA) product, which could help alternative UK network ISPs to more efficiently rollout new FTTP broadband networks via Duct Overlay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25420,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[52,56,69],"class_list":["post-25417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uk_isp_news","tag-fibre-optic","tag-fttp","tag-bt-openreach"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
