Next Generation Broadband Access

High-speed connectivity is the corner stone of modern business. We are working on behalf of Bristol City Council to provide leadership and build collaborations that will enhance the city’s connectivity by:

• Commissioning research into the future demand for high-speed connectivity. Developing a 3-5 year picture of emerging drivers for business and domestic users in the city.
• Developing mechanisms to capture and aggregate demand for high-speed connectivity.
• Supporting Community Connectivity Projects such as Knowle West Web and Bristol Wireless.
• Digital Master Planning representing Bristol at the DC10plus Connected Neighbourhood Forum.
