Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) has announced that they’ve managed to bring their gigabit Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband ISP network to the remote Fair Isle, which is a tiny island that sits around halfway between Shetland and the Orkney islands (Scotland) – the longest distance (100km) they’ve been able to transmit a continuous fibre signal anywhere in the UK.<\/p>\n

The deployment itself formed part of the Scottish Government<\/a>’s \u00a3600m Reaching 100% (R100<\/strong>) project, which among other things also enabled the deployment of a new subsea fibre link to help connect the remote rural community.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Openreach<\/a> aims to reach 25 million premises (80%+ of the UK) by December 2026 \u2013 6.2m of those will be in rural and semi-rural areas (here<\/a>). But they also hold an aspiration to reach between 25-30m premises by 2030.<\/div>\n

The new fibre optic cable starts its journey at a central distribution point (headend) in the Lerwick Exchange on Shetland and then passes through a specialised signal Repeater, in Sumburgh, 37km away, which amplifies the light signal. This in turn allows the signal to travel on to its destination on the Fair Isle<\/strong>, more than 75km away, using the aforementioned subsea fibre cable.<\/p>\n

Once ashore, the fibre is then connected into a Sub-tended Headend<\/strong> (SHE) which in turn boosts the optical signal out into the community, providing all 51 occupied premises on the island with access to “ultrafast speeds<\/em>” (despite the language, Opereach’s site states that gigabit speeds are available) – marking a huge improvement over the speeds of c. 0.5Mbps that were previously possible (although Starlink<\/a> also became an option in 2023).<\/p>\n

The term Subtended Head End<\/strong> is a bit of a mouthful, but they\u2019re essentially mini exchanges (aka \u2013 mini-head end or mini-Optical Line Terminals [OLT]) that can be installed closer to customers inside new or existing street cabinets). The first pilot deployments of these began all the way back in 2019 (here<\/a>) and they\u2019ve since been expanded. Such builds avoid the need for disruptive traffic management (fewer civil works) and are thus more cost-effective.<\/p>\n

Fraser Rowberry, Openreach<\/a> Chief Engineer for Scotland, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cRegular fibre signals just couldn\u2019t go the distance, so we had to get creative with some world first engineering to transmit life-changing ultrafast broadband over 100 kilometres to islanders. We had to do everything differently on Fair Isle, from planning around bird nesting seasons to setting up flat-packed cabins for our crew.<\/p>\n

A big shout-out to the people of Fair Isle for being so welcoming to our team. They\u2019ve been amazing. Now, they\u2019re connected to the world in a whole new way. This will make Fair Isle an even better place to be \u2013 for residents, visitors and future generations \u2013 and we\u2019d encourage people on the island to upgrade to full fibre.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wellbeing Economy Secretary, Neil Gray, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted that we have achieved digital connectivity for Fair Isle almost two years earlier than planned. Through our R100 commitment to tackle some of the hardest to access terrain in the country, we are improving the educational and life opportunities available to young people across Scotland. This innovative step forward for engineering ensures children on Fair Isle are not left behind.<\/p>\n

Internet speeds rivalling the best in the country are helping create a more attractive place for families and young people to live.<\/p>\n

We committed to invest further in our digital connectivity, despite powers being reserved to Westminster, because we know that by supporting remote working and rural businesses \u2013 from Fair Isle jumpers to tourism \u2013 we can help to build an island economy which is fair, green and prosperous.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A post office and shop are among the businesses which are already connected, and all premises on the island can now order the service. Installations also had to be carefully planned on the National Trust for Scotland-protected island, which is home to rare nesting birds and contains habitats of scientific and conservation value.<\/p>\n
