ICT infrastructure for Rural Estates

Because of its expertise in multi-tenanted business properties such as business centres and science parks and with years of experience in delivering complex community Broadband projects, Broadband Vantage has developed a specific area of expertise in delivering Next Generation Access Community Broadband projects to rural estates through the creative upgrading of the ICT infrastructure and cooperative outsourcing.

While rural estates often struggle to gain access to basic Broadband services due to their remoteness, they also cluster a number of businesses and residential users together.

Using this clustering, BbV constructs specific business models to enable the upgrading of the Community Broadband infrastructure, the local ICT delivery infrastructure while offering a useful second source of income and a sound Return on Investment.

 
White Papers

Broadband Vantage has developed white papers on a range of topics relative to its expertise in Community Broadband, ICT infrastructure and Next Generation Access.

Two new white papers are available for download on the subject of Data Centres and Software as a service.
 

 
Nostell Priory

Nostell Priory Estate Yard has been developed by the original owner to offer high quality business accommodation in buildings which include Ancient Monuments.

A challenging technical environment in which to develop the right ICT infrastructure to deliver Next Generation Access technologies, BbV worked with the owner to partner with a service provider prepared to invest in the ICT infrastructure and deliver services to the tenants.

The site will be expanded over the next few years to include a new development in the walled garden area, reflecting the quality and appearance of the estate overall.

 
 

 

Crabtree Hall


Crabtree Hall Business Centre has been developed from the original farm buildings and offers high quality business accommodation right next to the A1 just south of Scotch Corner in North Yorkshire.

The ICT infrastructure was not scaling with the demands of the tenants and was held back the lack of availability of high quality Next Generation Access at an affordable level due to the scale of the property. BbV worked with the owners to recruit a Service Provider able to co-invest in the ICT infrastructure and upgrade services to the tenants.

BbV is currently working with the owners to develop a Community Broadband WiMAX project to further upgrade this ICT infrastructure and deliver services to surrounding businesses and residential subscribers

 
 

 

Stanley Grange at Knowsley Park


Stanley Grange is a development of office buildings based on the Knowsley Estate Home Farm. The Estate originally allowed its tenants to do their own thing when it came to ICT infrastructure but the distance from the exchange meant highly variable quality and reliability and no service at all for certain buildings.

BbV built a complete ICT infrastructure strategy that incorporates upgrading the ICT infrastructure of the site itself, the procurement of a Managed Service Provider partner, the design of a fibre and wireless infrastructure to connect up the Hall and other properties along the Jacks Brow road and the raising of a grant to support the capital investment.
