Broadband Vantage (BbV) has developed expertise in three specific areas:

  • Community Broadband
  • ICT infrastructure for Rural Estates
  • ICT infrastructure for Business Centres and Science Parks
Much of this expertise can be evidenced by referring to the relevant case studies and the wide range of white papers available from the download area.
 


Broadband Vantage helped Southampton Science Park to develop an ICT infrastructure strategy which offers its tenants fast connection speeds, high resilience and a choice of service providers.  The trustworthy advice and guidance provided by Broadband Vantage was clearly backed by a wealth of knowledge and experience, and was critical to the success of the project.”

White Papers

Broadband Vantage has jointly developed two new "Best Practice Guides" with UKSPA to help property owners with developing infrastructure for Broadband and Telephone Services.

They can be downloaded here.

These Guides are also available for a small charge in bound form directly from UKSPA and can be ordered from their website or directly. Originally designed to address the infrastructure issues faced by Science Parks the guides are just as appropriate for those operating Business Centres or Rural Estates.
