A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Walney Island will host Cambium Networks and Voneus’ largest gigabit wireless broadband network following trials covering over one thousand homes.
The network will start in the North Scale area with the first customer installations scheduled for the beginning of July.
In partnership with the local authority, Voneus has selected lighting columns to deploy the network.
Voneus’ CEO, Christoper Traggio, said: “Voneus is deploying advanced wireless and fibre technology in a hybrid, complementary manner.”
Voneus is supporting the North Scale Community Centre, Walney School and the Roundhouse café with their community projects as part of its commitment to the good causes on the Island.
