Innovation
Our application based around our ability to be innovative
In areas where a Fibre feed is not viable, we use a mix of licensed spectrum which means we are able to offer an interference free operation. Some bands used for this are 13Ghz and 18Ghz.
The network is a mix of different technologies, many of our networks that operate in the 5ghz band are able to take advantage of now running AC technology to provide more capacity from each transmitter. This allows many of our customers to reap the benefit of reliably faster speeds and lower latency.
As an independent ISP, if we don’t continue to be innovative in the services we offer then we wont grow in the future. Keeping up with technology advancements isn’t an option, we recognise that we have to be one step ahead to ensure our customers always have the very best in comms available to them.
Canterbury Business Awards
Finalist in the Creative/Digital Category
As part of our application we were asked to provide evidence of expertise in digital, creative or media technologies.
“We created a solution using solar and wind technologies to power the repeater stations. We use these technologies to power the batteries which provide the electricity required to keep our kit in constant operation. Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels absorb sunlight as a source of energy to generate electricity which is controlled by an MPPT (maximum power point tracking) charge controller. This allows for the deep cell cycle charge of lithium batteries which keep the site running when there is no wind or solar energy.
We utilise both technologies simultaneously as the UK does not provide enough UV from the sun to fully power the batteries for a 24 hour service. The combination of both sees our batteries powered and only in need of maintenance twice per annum.”
