"We want to see a flowering of this all over the country. " - Caroline Spelman, Shadow secretary of state for communities and local government
Wi-Fi is the same wireless networking standard that is widely used in homes and offices. Wireless access points will be installed on lamp posts, similar to those in homes and offices, but with a much higher performance. These will interconnect to form a “mesh” to cover the whole borough.
We are launching with up to 20Mb download speed which is very fast. However, radio signals do not travel well through brick and concrete. If a user has thick walls and small windows (or tries to use it in a basement) it may be difficult to get a strong signal. We will be supplying wireless repeaters that can be installed in windows to boost the signal around homes and make sure you get a fast enough connection for high definition IPTV, video-on-demand and business critical data applications.
Go to the F.A.QYou do not need to buy a router. However, the Wi-Fi signal is not guaranteed to disperse equally throughout your premises and so you may find some parts of your property have better signal than other parts.
If you decide to opt for our paid £9.99 per month service, then a router will be provided that will be able to take signal from the Wi-Fi network and re-broadcast it within your premises thereby providing a more consistent and reliable service.
The router may also achieve a faster connection speed than your laptop/PDA as it has a more sensitive Wi-Fi receiver.
