Openreach<\/a> recently began a new Shallow Build Trial in Great Britain (excluding N.Ireland) for their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband ISP network, which we think could make it possible for the operator to expand their network into areas that might normally be too challenging due to high deployment costs and risk.<\/p>\n

The trial<\/a> was actually first announced late last year (here<\/a>), although we opted not to cover it until more information came our way. But firstly, it’s important to understand that the term “shallow build<\/em>” in Openreach<\/a> lingo has nothing to do with the depth of buried ducting and everything to do with the distance between their fibre and end-customers.<\/p>\n

Put simply, a shallow build takes fibre to the edge of a neighbourhood or business park, while a deep build takes that fibre all the way to the customer’s premises. Most of Openreach<\/a>’s deployments with Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) broadband technology are deep builds.<\/p>\n

The Shallow Build Trial<\/strong> is initially only focused upon serving business parks, and it will do this by building fibre to the splitter node. However, rather than then extending this to run the fibre past every individual business, the operator will instead only action that expansion upon receiving an order for the service.<\/p>\n

In theory, doing this could enable them to reach areas that might ordinarily be too expensive, while at the same time reducing their risk if take-up is low or none-existent. But Openreach clarifies that this is more about testing their ability to provision to more premises from the network in place today – not about changing the way they build such that they stop at the shallower point from customers (positive efficiency).<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for Openreach told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are trialling a new provision method in Great Britain (not NI) where we provide FTTP<\/a> service starting from the splitter node. The Trial will mainly focus on business parks and industrial estates. During the Trial we intend to evaluate the lead times and efficiency of this provision route. The current Trial is about testing Openreach\u2019s ability to provision to more premises from the network in place today.<\/p>\n

The trial started in December 2022 and is expected to last at least six months. The initial small scale Trial footprint is c.5k premises across 88 Exchanges. During the Trial we aim to expand the number of Shallow Build locations and increase the extent of coverage.<\/p>\n

The Trial is open to all Communication Providers, who can join-in at any time. Prevailing prices for connection and rental apply, with Equinox discounts applicable as appropriate.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The question of lead-times (i.e. how long it takes to go from placing an order to an installation) is important because, once an order has been placed by a customer, this approach would leave more work left to be done than might ordinarily be the case (i.e. risk of longer lead times).<\/p>\n

Likewise, it’s usually more cost-effective to complete a deployment when you have all of your engineers ready nearby, rather than on a less predictable timescale. But the trial is clearly keeping this in mind and will no doubt examine how much such issues can be mitigated. The fact that they aren’t currently expecting to apply higher connection charges to related installations is also positive.<\/p>\n

Finally, we’re unsure how Openreach would record ‘premises passed<\/em>‘ in such locations. The operator informed us that they will be transparent with ISPs and Ofcom<\/a> about what they’re saying is “available to order<\/em>” at any point in time and post-trials would look to clarify expected lead times, processes, etc.<\/p>\n

Overall, this sounds like a positive way of helping to bring FTTP closer to premises that might have otherwise been overlooked, albeit currently only applicable at certain business parks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
