6 steps to creating an ideal learning space for your child

nicci.jackson@boundlessnetworks.co.uk (Nicci Jackson) — Fri, 29 Jan 2021 15:36:16 GMT

6 steps to creating an ideal learning space for your child

It's been a few weeks now since we have all had to adapt our home environments to learning and working from home. Now is a good time to take stock and ensure the environment is encouraging great learning and focus.

Create a ‘zone’

Creating a set space for your child to learn in will help them to differentiate between study time and time to relax/play. Helping them to realise that this is a place to learn will help to keep them from getting distracted and encourage them to focus on the task at hand.

Don't use the bed or the couch
Move away from the learning area for lunch and other breaks

Get them connected

Having a stable connection is vital to your child's learning experience. If possible, use an ethernet cable so that they are ‘hard wired’ to your router. This will allow your child to keep connected so they don’t miss anything. Alternatively, ensure your child is in an area of the property with a strong WiFi signal. You can use our Mesh Kit to help with this if you have a patchy coverage across the property.

Plug into the router where possible
Don't have other wireless devices in between the laptop/device your child is using and the router
Disconnect devices that aren't being used

If your property struggles to get a decent internet connection, see if we can get you connected by checking your property in our availability checker here:

Remove clutter

Having a space filled with clutter and ‘stuff’ will create distractions and make it harder for them to concentrate on learning. Minimal items also help to create a feeling of calm which will encourage better learning and less stress. If your child needs space to draw or write, spending time clearing things out of their way will only distract them from learning and create unnecessary stress.

Remove needless paper
Throw out any rubbish
Organise items into containers, such as pens
Tidy away cables

Have supplies close to hand

As much as it is important to clear the space of clutter, making sure everything they need is available to them. Having to step away from the desk to grab a charger or textbook will mean they lose focus on the task. Thinking ahead of time and getting the area set up for the following day is super important to create a great learning environment and will help to keep things calm in the morning, avoiding a last minute scramble for supplies.

Personalise the space

Encourage your child to help you set up their workspace. Using drawings and learning prompts such as posters that your child has helped pick out will create a space that they feel comfortable in. It's important that this is a happy place for them to be so they can feel ready to study and comfortable in their surroundings.

Coloured or personalised mouse mat
Stationary organisers
Fun stationary
Personalised flask

Create good lighting

Having an area which is well lit will reduce tiredness and eye strain. Ensuring your child can make the most out of their time spent learning. It has been proven that having the correct lighting can increase learning by up to 20% so it is much more important than you might think.

Warm or yellow lighting helps you to relax and rest.
Natural lighting is the best all round solution that allows comfortable work.
Cold or white lighting is best for brightness and improves attention overall.

There are many factors to ensuring a great environment for home learning. If you need any assistance with getting your property connected or even with increasing your internal WiFi coverage. Let us know and we would be more than happy to help.

is fixed wireless internet affected by weather

nicci.jackson@boundlessnetworks.co.uk (Nicci Jackson) — Wed, 06 Jan 2021 14:45:01 GMT

Something we get asked a lot is whether our fixed wireless internet is affected by weather.

It’s a logical question but the short answer is no, your fixed wireless internet connection should not be affected by the weather.

As with everything, there is a longer version of this answer so if you’re interested keep on reading...

Let’s start off with why fixed wireless internet should not be affected by weather

Firstly, the masts used to send internet usually sit at around 8-10 meters high. Most storm clouds (thunder and lightening) sit much higher in the atmosphere than this, so any storms are completely out of range of the radio signal being transmitted from the mast to the property.

Secondly, you will always be connected to a mast that is within 8 miles of your property. This means that you are close to the mast and there is only a short distance for the data to be transmitted; so limited options for the weather to interrupt your service (if it were able – which it’s not).

Here the issue is the electromagnetic interference from lightning. This means that the lightning bolts are the issue and not cloud, so unless the lightening bolt hits the mast, your connection wont be affected.

Fixed wireless internet vs the rain (or fog/snow/humidity etc)

So, we have established that the distance and the height of the mast isn’t affected by storm clouds, but what about the rain? This falls all the way to the ground and could disrupt the signal, right?

Well not really, if it’s done right anyway (which it is when we do it).

Some radio frequencies can be affected by weather, but we know where and when this will happen, because of the data we have gathered over time, so it has already been factored into our network design so that our customers can expect and enjoy a reliable and consistent service.

Fixed wireless internet vs wind

If all the equipment is set up correctly then the wind won’t affect your internet connection either. However, this is the one that people feel affects them the most, here’s why:

If the antenna is not firmly connected to the property, or it is attached to a long pole which can flex, then this will mean that the line of sight gets interrupted as the antenna moves and will cause a loss of connection.

Likewise, if there is a tree close to your line of sight and the wind blows in such a direction that means the tree would interrupt the line of sight then again this will cause problems.

The wind itself will not disrupt a service however the by-products of wind – movement – could be a problem.

At Boundless Networks we always work to ensure that we do everything possible to connect your antenna to a solid point of contact to the property so that this is not a problem for our customers.

So in short, weather does not affect a Boundless Networks connection, we have designed our network to be sure of this.

There are always anomalies to this rule but, as long as everything is working correctly, your internet signal should not be affected by whatever mother nature decides to throw your way.

If you are interested in getting your property connected with fixed wireless internet, take a look at our availability checker to see if we cover your area.

Because a Boundless connection is one that you can rely on.

What is fixed wireless internet?

nicci.jackson@boundlessnetworks.co.uk (Nicci Jackson) — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 17:18:00 GMT

What is Fixed Wireless Internet?

Fixed wireless internet is an alternative to the more traditional types of internet such as a cable to your front door (like the one that comes through your phoneline).

This means that an internet connection can be sent to homes or other properties that ordinarily may not have access to high speed broadband via traditional providers.

When you are connected to a fixed wireless internet service, the provider will install a receiver on your property. This will receive the internet from a nearby mast that is transmitting an internet connection via a radio signal to the surrounding area.

Why do you need fixed wireless internet?

Sending the internet wirelessly, as opposed to a physical cable in the ground, has the benefit of needing less infrastructure work and less disturbance to the local community. Once the mast has been built, it is able to send an internet connection to any property within an 8 mile radius that has a clear line of sight. It means that the ground doesn’t need to be dug up for installation or maintenance.
There are no data caps, when you connect to the internet via other wireless means (i.e via a mobile phone provider) there tends to be data caps which is why people have a separate system for their home. Like traditional internet connections, fixed wireless doesn’t have a data cap.

Is satellite internet the same as fixed wireless internet?

Satellite and fixed wireless internet are often confused with each other.

Satellite internet comes from the earth, is sent up into space to a satellite and then beamed back down to earth to the property that is connecting to the internet.

Fixed wireless internet never leaves the atmosphere, in fact the average mast is around 8-10m tall. This is a MUCH shorter journey than the 23,000 mile one-way trip to a satellite.

A shorter journey means that it gets there quicker.

So instead of every interaction having to make a 23,000 mile journey to a satellite in space, then a 23,000 mile journey to the data centre on earth (and back again) it needs to make an 8mile (max) journey to the mast and then from the mast to the data centre and back…

Weather can affect a satellite connection MUCH more than it can affect a fixed wireless connection. Weather can affect a fixed wireless connection but boundless networks factor this into the signal that we send to the property to account for this.

There aren’t many storms that happen within 20m of the ground. But the internet has to get through the earth’s atmosphere before it reaches a satellite – not counting all the storms that happen in between.

Important points to note

In summary fixed wireless internet is a great option for people who want more out of their broadband than a traditional provider can offer.
It allows a rural property to connect to an unlimited service that is as reliable as (if not more than) a traditional connection.
It provides faster (and more reliable) speeds than satellite.

Overall it’s a pretty great option – if we do say so ourselves

The Rural Forgotten - Broadband Woe

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 02 May 2019 08:11:19 GMT

Year after year, we hear government proclamations that access to the internet is so important to families and the economy. Year after year we hear about how speeds are improving and that ‘fibre’ is our digital future. We hear about £billions of state aid being spent to improve broadband across the country.

The United Nations is actively considering making broadband a human right in international law. Back in 2015 David “Referendum” Cameron even promised everyone in the UK will have access to ‘decent broadband’ by the end of 2020. On a side track, just to be clear, let’s look at what the UK Government and Ofcom thinks ‘decent broadband’ looks like. According to Ofcom, this is “For the USO, Government has defined decent broadband as a service that can provide a download speed of 10 Mbit/s, and an upload speed of 1 Mbit/s upload. There are other technical features that ensure a quality service.” (source: Ofcom Broadband USO page, 05 December 2018). I will cover the usefulness of the Government USO separately. Yet somehow, our rural villages, farms, business areas and hamlets don’t seem to be reaping the benefits of this expenditure or these promises.

BT, Ofcom, the Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport (DDCMS) happily accept the out-of-date analysis performed by out-of-touch analysts such as Ovum or Analysys Mason that it costs many times more to connect a property in a remote location than in an urban spot. This of course is true. However, the accepted approach to resolve this just makes it worse for citizens and better for BT.

What’s wrong with the funding method?

The Government has worked on a strategy that flatters the statistics and does not address the problem. It also ignores market forces and changes in technology which reduce the costs of installing super high-performance broadband.

The problem works like this:

1. We want 99% coverage. Okay, sounds fair so far.

2. We have limited money and understanding on how to fix it. Okay, yep, both true, but keep quiet about the lack of understanding bit.

3. Let’s ask the market what postcodes they already have superfast internet and make the problem look smaller. Hmm, starting to get a bit flaky now.

4. Let’s go to tender around the UK and tell operators that they will win if they make our statistics look good. Oh, dear, this might not end well.

a. For example

i. You’ll get paid for ‘passing’ a property; it doesn’t matter if you actually connect it.

ii. The winner of the tenders will be the one who promises to ‘pass’ the most premises, so focus on the easiest, most densely populates areas, even if they are actually commercially viable without subsidy.

iii. Don’t worry too much about the quality of the broadband, the spec that’s on BT’s easy to achieve spec-sheet will do.

5. Call everything ‘Fibre’ something, because that sounds good and don’t worry if it’s still mostly copper because the British public will believe anything. Right, that’s it, the marketeers have started to take over.

The outcome (so far). Well, of course, £2.1 billion has been spent with the following effects:

1. All the easy properties have been passed. Unsurprisingly, these are in towns, cities and larger villages.

2. Operators have exaggerated their coverage claims, as the feeble copper-based ‘fibre to the cabinet’ doesn’t work as well as promised.

3. Early schemes were postcode-based. The problem is that postcode areas in rural settings tend to be quite large, so properties were crossed off the list when they shouldn’t.

4. Because all the easy stuff has been done without any consideration whatsoever for the harder ones, there are now literally thousands and thousands of islands or pockets that have been left behind. This is our rural woe, as these pockets are too small to be of any commercial interest to any large operator such as BT or Virgin etc.

In 2018, someone at the Ministry finally realised that this isn’t working and started scratching for ideas on how to fix it. “We need to look at this differently, turn it on its head, turn it inside out”. Genius! “Let’s call in Outside In!. Nobody will know what it means, but while Brexit’s going on, we can still look like we’re doing something”. And so here we are in 2019, wondering what Outside In means and whether it will make a difference. Of course, all the time, some organisations have been making a difference. Private fibre optic outfits like Truespeed and B4RN have just got on with it. Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs), like Boundless, Quickline, Wildanet and Bordelink just carried on doing their thing. Not only that, whilst Government schemes have aimed for 30 Mbps speeds, the independents rarely start that low, with most delivering speeds from 100 to 1,000 Mbps!

Despite having had to navigate around vague coverage plans from the ‘formal’, funded schemes and not having the huge marketing spend of BT, these independent rural operators have been quietly connecting properties by the thousand. That’s the right scale to fix rural problems. Locally, with agile operators who actually care.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here is your Outside In! Here is the solution for our Rural Forgotten!

Why is Wi-Fi so rubbish sometimes? (and how to make it better)

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 02 May 2019 07:57:44 GMT

We’ve all come to depend on using Wi-Fi when connecting to the internet. We hear about latest standards for equipment, with faster speeds, dual bands and triple chains, so why is it that our experience of Wi-Fi doesn’t seem to get any better?

Here I’m going to cover some of the main reasons that Wi-Fi can be so Lo-Fi and practical things that you can do to get the best out of your home Wi-Fi gear.

Firstly, let’s look at where Wi-Fi problems stem from

The concept of Wi-Fi has been around for decades, since around 1997 (its origins trace back to 1971! – we couldn’t believe it either)

Back in the day Wi-Fi was conceived as a way of sending data from one device to another within the same room as soon as it started to work, people wanted to send information to more than one device, in the same room at the same time. This is pretty much when it all went a bit wrong.

This is because the business of Wi-Fi suddenly becomes quite complicated:

What if two people want to send or receive information at the same time? Or three, or four?

What if one person’s device has a great signal as it’s next to the router and the next person has snuck out of the room and has worse signal?

The result?

To put it simply….Wi-Fi chaos.

Devices can all ask for data at the same time and the router doesn’t know what to do about it, hence slow speeds and lag.

Over time, technology has done what it does best and evolved quickly. This means there are many ‘versions’ of Wi-Fi technology as things get tweaked and improved.

Wi-Fi and your devices.

The problem is, your device isn’t improved alongside the Wi-Fi until you invest in a newer model. And even when you do upgrade, if you have more devices running on the old version of Wi-Fi, then your router does a clever little thing where it reverts to running the old version so that it can better support the ‘old’ devices.

So, your shiny new device won’t benefit until you upgrade ALL your devices – or at least most of them.

Wi-Fi vs Walls (or any other obstruction)

The other issue with Wi-Fi is that it works best within one room.

Sure, you can connect to the Wi-Fi in other rooms, but it was developed originally to work within just the one room.

Things have improved and the signal strength has become better, however Wi-Fi still doesn’t particularly like obstructions.

If you stand next to your router, you should get excellent Wi-Fi connection. However, if you move into the next room then your signal is going to start getting weaker. This can get even worse if you live in a property with thick walls – such as a barn conversion.

Even if you live in a modern house, foil back insulation also causes issues

The more walls and obstructions that you put between your device and your router, the worse your Wi-Fi signal will get.

This is why you will struggle to find an internet service provider who guarantees internal Wi-Fi coverage within their basic package. More often than not this is an added extra that is billed monthly.

It is basically impossible to predict every variation of every property, so this is sold as a standalone solution.

Okay, on with the solutions

In an ideal world, in order to get the best possible usage of your Wi-Fi you would need to upgrade every device every time the technology is upgraded and also knock down all your walls…

We know that this is not feasible so then we are left with the work around solutions:

Have you turned it off and on again?

Ah, those 8 famous words spoken by many a tech support agent.

This really does work. Your friendly little router is doing a lot of different things all at the same time, and these virtual wires can get crossed and confused.

Turning your router (or any other device) off for 2 minutes and then back on again gives it time to reboot and realign its ‘thoughts’.

Unplugging the power also ensures that the router is fully off and not in standby mode.

Is this affecting every device in the property?

If most of your devices can connect to the Wi-Fi without a problem then it’s likely that the device you are struggling with is the problem, not the internet. This would mean you need to go back to the manufacturer and try to work out what is wrong with the device and look to get this fixed or replaced.

Do you own any other wireless equipment?

Other devices in your property could be interfering with the signal that your router is emitting. You want to keep these away from both the router and the device you are trying to connect to the Wi-Fi.

Some devices to be aware of:

- Microwave

- Baby monitors

- Wireless printers

- Wireless doorbell/CCTV

- Another router

These devices can interrupt the signal and confuse it meaning that the Wi-Fi signal doesn’t reach your device properly, resulting in a struggle to connect your device to the internet.

Try moving the wireless equipment to a different part of your property away from the router, or try switching them off completely if you’re able (even just temporarily to test if this is causing your problems).

Do the problems get better when you’re close to the router and worse the further away you go?

Try standing next to your router while connected to the Wi-Fi and then also try moving away from the router into a different room. If your connection gets worse as you move away this is likely because the signal strength isn’t strong enough to get to where you want to be when you’re connecting your device to the internet.

Try a Mesh Kit

If you can connect to the internet fine when you’re close to the router but the problem lies when you try to connect in another room, then it might be worth looking into getting a Mesh Kit. This is a set of units that plug into your mains sockets that receive the Wi-fi signal and create a bit of a relay to extend the reach of the signal.

Before you go ahead and spend money on a kit such as this, we would always recommend speaking to the tech support team at your internet provider. They will be able to run any relevant tests on your system and give a better idea on whether a Mesh Kit would help.

Boundless Networks & Networx3 bring Gigabit Britain to Haslingden

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 05 Jul 2018 22:13:31 GMT

Boundless Networks has joined forces with Great Harwood-based Networx3 to deliver full fibre broadband to businesses in Haslingden.

The Courtyard business site on Grane Road, Haslingden, has long suffered from issues with broadband with the main providers like BT and Virgin being unable to provide services that meet the requirements of the current broadband market let alone for the next 10 years. Now all this worry is over as Boundless Networks and Networx3 have joined forces to bring 1000Mbps (1 Gigabit) broadband to all the businesses.

The network has received funding support from the Government’s Gigabit Voucher Scheme, which allows registered suppliers to work with businesses to unlock funding to help deliver full fibre broadband capable of speeds ranging from 100Mbps to 1000Mbps or 1 Gigabit. With only 3% of UK premises having access to this sort of broadband technology it really has put the Courtyard onto the broadband map and means businesses can use the power of broadband and the internet even more to deliver and expand their businesses

John Young, Managing Director of the JY Group based as the site, said: “Before the arrival of this network we had to struggle and be creative to get broadband into the office. We used dongles, phones and all sorts just to try and get useable broadband. Now we have a 100Mbps FttP connection we can do everything we need to and more! This connection means that all our broadband needs are now covered and we can get on with our day-to-day business.”

Caroline Earnshaw, Commercial Director at Networx3, said: “Networx3 are experts at delivering large scale solutions in the telecoms industry. Working with Boundless to deliver this full fibre network right on our doorstep demonstrates our commitment to bringing the best available broadband infrastructure to areas that need it. Grane Road has been an exciting venture, nurturing our passion for local people and businesses. We are very proud of our team and their efforts in supporting such a refreshing project and in addition to this we are proud to have the relationship we have with Boundless Networks.”

The Gigabit Voucher Scheme, an initiative operated by the Department for Culture, Digital, Media and Sport, demonstrates a £67 million investment in faster internet connections and was announced by the Chancellor Philip Hammond in March 2018.

The Nationwide Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme (GBVS) provides vouchers worth up to £3,000 for a small or medium sized business or £500 to residents to help with the costs of connecting to full fibre broadband.

The scheme is part of a wider government plan to get more homes and businesses connected to full fibre broadband. It builds on the £200 million Local Full Fibre Networks programme which gives funding to local areas to boost full fibre delivery. £95 million of this funding was allocated at Spring Statement to 13 successful bidders across the UK.

Boundless Networks has one of the largest network coverage footprints of any alternative technology provider in the country, with coverage of over 3,500 square miles with approximately 4,000 customers and operates a private national fibre network from its data centres in Manchester and Leeds

Business packages start from just £65 per month and residential packages from £20.99.

Muntons is new Access Point for Boundless

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Tue, 29 May 2018 22:04:22 GMT

We are delighted to have welcomed Muntons as a new Access Point for Boundless Networks.

David Jewitt Engineering Manager for Muntons said: “Muntons is a leading Malt Processing company and the Bridlington site is keen to support local businesses and residents in new ways. We were made aware that the surrounding community received poor internet connectivity and following dialogue with Boundless Networks we were pleased to be able to facilitate the use of our site to provide a new, superfast wireless internet solution to this area of Bridlington. We were very pleased to work with a business who shares our values and are focused on improving the local area and beyond.”

Simon Hayhurst, Boundless Networks Director, said: “Our professional engineers spent a week of hard work at Muntons erecting our wireless infrastructure on the drying plant structure, through which Muntons and the local area can now receive up to 50mb internet speed. We also aspire to be able to provide Ultrafast speeds to the area in the future. This of course would not have been possible without the support of Muntons and the site staff.

The Access Point on Muntons will service, more specifically, the local caravan sites, such as Marton Valley Caravan Park, Martonia Caravan Park, as well as local farms, residential homes, and the Martonia Pub. There will also be links to service other nearby areas.

We would like to thank Muntons and the local staff for their continued commitment to improving services in their local area and look forward to working with them for many years to come.”

Ultrafast broadband now a reality for Worth Valley residents

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 22:56:23 GMT

The urgent need for better broadband across the Worth Valley area has been answered, with download speeds above 100Megabits per second (Mbps) now available.

Boundless Networks; one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast wireless broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of Yorkshire, has brought ultrafast wireless broadband to the Worth Valley.

With packages from £21.99 per month, superfast and ultrafast wireless broadband is available now throughout the Worth Valley, including Wilsden, Stanbury, Haworth, Cross Hills, Oakworth, Oxenhope and Oldfield.

Residents and businesses have struggled for years with extremely poor Mbps broadband speeds that barely allows them to receive emails, let alone stream any digital content. They can now enjoy broadband speeds they thought impossible. The benefits to the community are immeasurable. Poor broadband is the cause of many disadvantages, including putting children’s education at risk as they cannot do their homework properly. Faster broadband also allows smart TV use.

Better broadband in the Worth Valley can make a dramatic difference to:

15,385 residential properties

Boundless Networks wants to work with the Worth Valley community to ensure everyone benefits as soon as possible from better broadband.

Boundless Networks Chairman David Hood, who lives in nearby Craven, said: “We are really proud and pleased to be the provider of ultrafast broadband to the Worth Valley, bringing real, positive life changes and opportunities. We are investing in providing services that other providers say are not possible and I am proud to be able to deliver these services to local villages and communities. We are currently working with public officials, organisations, businesses and residents within the Worth Valley to ensure we deliver improved broadband to everyone requiring it.”

Boundless Networks has contracted local business Pennine Plus as prime contractor for the installations in the area and for their local knowledge of the community. They have been a key pillar in assisting with the installation of infrastructure across the Worth Valley that has enabled residents and businesses to have access to ultrafast broadband.

Pennine Plus Managing Director Geoff Higgins said: “It’s an incredible feeling to be a part of something such as this, to be able to provide these people with what is nowadays considered a basic necessity of modern day life, broadband. Not only have we been able to deliver ultrafast broadband to a remote area, we’ve given them the means to become part of the digital era and join the rest of the world, and we couldn’t be prouder of this achievement.”

Boundless Networks is becoming the go-to company for homes and businesses for superfast and ultrafast broadband in rural areas. Coupled with Pennine’s extensive local knowledge and expertise, line-of-sight broadband with Boundless is expanding at an exponential rate across the region, and together they endeavour to service even the most rural of areas.

The ultrafast service is being rolled out by Boundless across North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire and Lancashire over the next three years. This will also remove the need for homes and businesses to wait for the Government’s Universal Service Obligation of 10Mbps by delivering speeds that will futureproof rural communities for a generation.

Boundless Networks; one of the UK’s leading Fixed Wireless Internet Service Providers, has been helping individuals, communities, businesses and local authorities receive superfast broadband technology in poorly serviced rural areas since 2006.

The company has one of the largest wireless coverage footprints of any such internet service provider in the country, with coverage of over 3,500 square miles with approximately 4,000 wireless links in service and operates a private national fibre network from its data centre in Manchester.

High-speed internet access provided from an array of fibre-connected masts across the region is delivered to the end user via line of sight with the use of microwaves to transmit the data to the receiver. This removes the need for a telephone line.

Residential packages start from just £21.99 per month, and ultrafast residential packages start from only £51.99 per month.

Boundless Networks delivers 30 Mbps broadband Worth Valley hamlet

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 12 Oct 2017 21:44:47 GMT

Residents of tiny Worth Valley hamlet Slippery Ford, Oakworth, are “ecstatic” after getting superfast broadband installed for the first time, after struggling with just a quarter Mbps that barely allowed them to receive emails, let alone stream any digital content.

“Thanks to Boundless Networks and their wireless broadband solution we now have 30 Mbps wireless broadband and no longer feel so isolated, but rather part of the rest of the world,” said Slippery Ford resident, smallholder Alison Porter.

“We are ecstatic; we are tucked out of the way up here and no-one else has ever been able to get superfast broadband to us before – getting emails has been about it. We were told it was not possible by other providers and yet here we are able to access the Internet, download files, films and generally get on with life far better. It’s great value too and is not capped, so you have unlimited download capacity. What’s more, we don’t need a landline anymore.”

Alison lives with her sister, Julie, and brother-in-law Andrew, and they are one of three remote households at Slippery Ford to benefit from the newly installed superfast broadband from Boundless Networks. Alison, who is in the process of setting up a new smallholding business, said everything was now far easier and quicker thanks to the superfast broadband.

Boundless Networks Chairman David Hood, who lives in Craven, said: “We are really proud and pleased to be the provider of superfast broadband to Slippery Ford, bringing real, positive life changes and opportunities, and hope to offer the same services to other parts of the Worth Valley struggling with connectivity. We are investing in providing services that other providers say are not possible and I am proud to be able to deliver these services to local villages and communities.”

Boundless Networks has contracted local business Pennine Plus as prime contractor for the installations in the area and for their local knowledge of the community. They have been a key pillar in instigating the project at Slippery Ford from the very conceptualisation of the project to the installation of infrastructure that enabled Slippery Ford to have fibre-like speed broadband.

Pennine Plus Managing Director Geoff Higgins said: “It’s an incredible feeling to be a part of something such as this, to be able to provide these people with what is nowadays considered a basic necessity of modern day life, broadband. Not only have we been able to deliver 30 Mbps broadband to a remote area, we’ve given them the means to become part of the digital era and join the rest of the world, and we couldn’t be prouder of this achievement.”

Boundless Networks is becoming the go-to company for homes and businesses for superfast and ultrafast broadband in rural areas. We are one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast 100Mbps broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire, including Kilnsey, Conistone, Buckden, and Starbotton. Coupled with Pennine’s extensive local knowledge and expertise, line-of-sight broadband with Boundless is expanding at an exponential rate across the region, and together we endeavour to service even the most rural of areas.

Rural ultrafast 100Mbps broadband service launch

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 24 Aug 2017 21:39:32 GMT

Boundless Networks is to launch its ultrafast 100Mbps broadband service for the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire, including Kilnsey, Conistone, Buckden and Starbotton, at Kilnsey Show on Tuesday August 29th.

Boundless Networks is one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire. We will have a stand at Kilnsey Show and allow visitors to test the ultrafast broadband.

Boundless Networks is offering homes and businesses the chance to forget superfast broadband and experience ultrafast broadband. It is expanding its coverage so that more people can access the ultrafast world and experience 4K TV at its best. New wireless technology is allowing areas of Craven and North Yorkshire the ability to access the internet at ultrafast speeds in excess of 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) and up to 200Mbps – over twice as fast as standard Fibre to the Green Cabinet services that many areas can now access . (Ultrafast broadband provides download speeds above 100Megabits per second (Mbps), and superfast broadband above 30Mbps.)

The provision of these ultrafast services allows many homes and businesses to be able to access the internet far faster than even urban neighbours. With ultrafast services available in villages such as Kilnsey, Conistone, Buckden and Starbotton, they will provide access to services that surpass the download speeds of people in Leeds who only average around 28Mbp*

Boundless Networks has one of the largest wireless coverage footprints of any such provider in the country, with coverage of over 3,500 square miles with approximately 4,000 wireless links in service and operates a private national fibre network from its data centre in Manchester.

High-speed internet access provided from an array of fibre-connected masts across the region is delivered to the end user by microwave or fibre optic cable.

Ultrafast Residential packages start from just £42.99 per month

‘Oarsome’ Boundless Networks celebrates completing charity row

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Mon, 03 Jul 2017 21:16:30 GMT

The time may not have been ‘ultrafast’ but there was still much to celebrate for a team from Boundless Networks when it completed a challenging charity row for St Gemma’s Hospice.

The team completed the St Gemma’s Hospice Windermere Row in two hours and 34 minutes raising funds for the Leeds-based charity that provides expert care and support for local people with terminal illnesses.

While the team of five novice rowers struggled for anything like ultrafast or superfast speeds in their boat on Lake Windermere, they all gave it their best, aiming to raise as much money as possible to allow this deserving charity to continue providing outstanding patient care.

The rowers from Boundless Networks, which is one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast wireless broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire, took part in the challenging row on Sunday, July 2nd.

The Windermere Row took place July 1st – 2nd this year and is billed as one of the toughest but most enjoyable St Gemma’s Hospice challenges. The event has raised over £1.13 million since 1998. Teams of varying sizes and abilities take to the lake come rain or shine and race their way past the checkpoints and along either the 10 or 21-mile route to victory. Surrounded by the most beautiful setting, and with fancy dress and playful camaraderie strongly encouraged, this event has been attracting veteran captains and novice first mates to the lake for over 35 years.

The team from Boundless Networks was Director Simon, Engineer Mason O’Connor, Network Engineer Jack Preston, Engineer Tom Hayhurst and Business Account Manager Samuel Hayhurst.

Boundless Networks brings ultrafast services to Craven

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Mon, 03 Apr 2017 21:08:14 GMT

Boundless Networks is one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast wireless broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire. Now it is expanding the areas to where people can order it to include Cononley, Silsden and parts of Skipton.

Boundless Networks is offering homes and businesses in parts of Craven the chance to forget superfast broadband and experience ultrafast broadband.

Boundless Networks team takes up oars for challenging charity row

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 09 Mar 2017 22:04:14 GMT

A team from Boundless Networks is in training for St Gemma’s Hospice Windermere Row later this year; hoping to be ‘ultrafast’ and raise funds for the Leeds-based charity that provides expert care and support for local people with terminal illnesses.

“OK, we know we will struggle for anything like ultrafast or superfast speeds in our boat on Lake Windermere, but we will all try our best and aim to raise as much money as possible to allow this deserving charity to continue providing outstanding patient care,” said Boundless Networks Director Simon Hayhurst.

The team of six novice rowers from Boundless Networks, which is one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast wireless broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire, will take part in the event on Sunday July 2nd. The team is already training and is travelling to Lake Windermere in April for a practice row.

The Windermere Row takes place July 1st – 2nd this year and is billed as one of the toughest but most enjoyable St Gemma’s Hospice challenges. The event has raised over £1.13 million since 1998. Teams of varying sizes and abilities take to the lake come rain or shine and race their way past the checkpoints and along either the 10 or 21-mile route to victory.

Boundless Networks welcomes Digital Strategy

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Thu, 02 Mar 2017 21:59:43 GMT

Boundless Networks has welcomed the publication of the Government’s Digital Strategy this week. However, it argues that the Government is becoming fixated with full fibre connections that will serve many millions of urban homes and businesses without considering how rural homes can benefit from the same services and speeds as their city-dwelling friends.

The Strategy, announced on Wednesday, March 1st, 2017, outlines the Government’s plan to become a leading digital nation, building on the UK’s existing digital strengths and maximising the potential of emerging technologies, such as Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things, to drive up productivity, remain internationally competitive and realise opportunity across the country.

The Government recognises that “first and foremost, being a digital leader depends on being connected” and that “the future of high-speed and high-quality connectivity lies in deeper, more extensive fibre networks”. The Digital Strategy confirms the £1bn programme of funding “to explore and encourage next generation digital infrastructure, including full fibre and 5G” that was announced in the 2016 Autumn Statement. It also includes the commitment to work with industry and regulators so “broadband adverts accurately reflect reality”, this also ensures that adverts apply “terms like ‘fibre’ only when full fibre solutions are used”. The strategy also announced a new Business Connectivity Forum to bring stakeholders together “to help businesses access fast, affordable and reliable broadband”. However, the Strategy fails to acknowledge that providers like Boundless are bringing the most advanced fixed wireless broadband to the UK now that is capable of delivering the 1Gbps speeds that are the principles of a full fibre solution.

Entrepreneur and Boundless Networks Chairman David Hood, who lives in Craven, said: “We welcome the Government’s Digital Strategy and the ambition to make the UK one of the best connected countries in the world. We would, however, recommend that the use of alternative technology is examined to see how solutions such as Boundless Networks’ ultrafast wireless technology is included in how the UK achieves the best and fastest connectivity possible. Our ultrafast services are capable of delivering speeds of 200Mbps today but will be delivering 1Gbps services by 2020. These speeds compare with the offerings of full fibre solutions as they rely on the same fibre backhaul that is used to deliver full fibre services. The wire-free technology makes the service cheaper and quicker to deploy than digging up roads and villages – the use of this technology can deliver the Government’s targets quicker and is better value to the public purse. This must be considered in the plan for a fully connected Digital Britain.”

Research carried out by Boundless Networks can demonstrate that the costs of installing new fibre cable is estimated at approximately £68 per metre. So, a 3km cable would typically cost £200,000. The latest fixed wireless link over the same distance would cost around £6,000 for 5Gbps services and just £13,000 for a 10Gbps connection. Even if the cost of digging, obtaining wayleaves and deploying full fibre services were suddenly dropped by 90%, it would still be more expensive. This clearly demonstrates that new generation Fixed Wireless services, like the ultrafast network being deployed by Boundless, are fundamentally better value and should be part of the Governments Digital Strategy for future connectivity

The ultrafast service is being trialled now and will be rolled out by Boundless across North Yorkshire over the next two years. This will also remove the need for homes and businesses to wait for the Government’s Universal Service Obligation of 10Mbps by delivering speeds that will futureproof rural communities for a generation.

High-speed internet access provided from an array of fibre-connected masts across the region is delivered to the end user by microwave or fibre optic cable.

Business packages start from just £45 per month and residential packages from £20.99.

Boundless Networks delivers ultrafast broadband to North Yorks

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 21:53:52 GMT

Boundless Networks is one of the first companies in the UK to test and deliver ultrafast wireless broadband in the most sparsely populated areas of North Yorkshire.

Boundless Networks is addressing the issue of lack of superfast broadband in many of the rural parts of North Yorkshire. It has tested a new wireless technology allowing the village of Bradley, near Skipton, to access the internet at speeds in excess of 160 Megabits per second (Mbps); twice as fast as BT’s Infinity product and six times faster than the Government’s superfast target speed of 30Mbps. (Ultrafast broadband provides download speeds above 100Megabits per second (Mbps), and superfast broadband above 30Mbps.)

There is an urgent need for better broadband in rural communities. The Government has proposed that every Briton should have the legal right to request access to internet speeds of 10Mbps by 2020, and only in December, Ofcom, the telecoms regulator, revealed that a quarter of all properties in rural areas – close to a million in total – still do not have decent broadband.

It is reported that poor broadband puts children’s education at risk in rural areas, as they cannot do their homework properly.

Brian Wilson, director at Rural England, said that pupils who grow up in rural communities are at a disadvantage compared to their urban dwelling peers, as they are less able to access online learning resources and carry out research-based projects.

Mr Wilson, who wrote the State of Rural Services 2016 report, said: “A lack of a fast broadband connection is an issue in a lot of rural places. It is expanding but it is still the case that about a quarter of homes will be unable to get a broadband connection.”

Entrepreneur and Boundless Networks Chairman David Hood, who lives in Craven, said: “Being able to go way beyond the Government’s target of 30Mbps is a huge benefit to rural communities. Not only can we deliver the superfast target, we can futureproof the service so that children in rural areas, like Bradley, don’t need to play catch up with their classmates. Wireless ultrafast broadband is able to deliver this and Boundless is leading the way in delivering it.”

Boundless Networks saves the day for Tour de Yorkshire HQ

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 20:49:14 GMT

Thanks to Boundless Networks the Tour de Yorkshire Headquarters and Communications Centre is going to have high-speed internet access just in time for the eagerly-anticipated cycling event this week featuring some of the world’s best and most exciting riders.

City of York Council contacted Boundless Networks saying that there was an urgent need for high-speed internet access at the Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial at Elvington, York, as it was the desired location for the Tour de Yorkshire Headquarters and Communications Centre for the event taking place 29th April – 1st May and featuring a host of top cyclists, including Sir Bradley Wiggins and Lizzie Armitstead. Without high-speed internet access it just could not do this and another location would have had to be found.

“We were delighted when City of York Council put us in touch with Boundless Networks and that the company was able to deliver the high-speed wireless technology we required to allow the Tour de Yorkshire HQ and Comms Centre to be located here for the week,” said Ian Reed, Director of the Yorkshire Air Museum & Allied Air Forces Memorial.

“We are an historic war-time site, with a unique “French Connection”, and it can be difficult to get high-speed internet access to such rural areas, but Boundless Networks has really saved the day for us, allowing us to help facilitate this magnificent event in Yorkshire. The legacy of this will be that the site will continue to benefit from high-speed internet access after the event; a real bonus for us and visitors to increase our social media platforms.”

The Operations Room and International Press Office; home to more than 40 international journalists, for the Tour de Yorkshire will be based at the Elvington site, as well as all the pre-race media being held there, so it was crucial that high-speed internet access was in place.

Managing Director of Boundless Networks, David Burns, said: “Boundless Networks is delighted to have helped secure the Tour de Yorkshire HQ and Communications Centre for the Yorkshire Air Museum. Our wireless services, providing speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps, offer coast-to-coast wireless coverage across the North of England and is the perfect choice for rural areas such as Elvington.”

Boundless Networks saves the day: Picture shows a Boundless Networks van at the Yorkshire Air Museum ahead of the Tour de Yorkshire.

Elvington’s French Connection.

From May 1944, RAF Elvington, on which the Yorkshire Air Museum is based, became home to the only two French Squadrons to serve with RAF Bomber Command. Over 2300 French personnel were stationed here until October 1945. The two Squadrons were 346 “Guyenne” Squadron and 347 “Tunisie” Squadron.

The Museum organised a large part of the events in the City of York during the Grand Depart of the Tour de France in July 2014 and took part in the lead Peleton for the final stage in Central Paris that year.

In May 2015, ASO utilised our site for the parc fermé for all the support vehicles for the inaugural Tour de Yorkshire, which is also happening again this year, as the cars are branded for the event. ASO staff enjoyed working from here, hence their request to utilise our facilities further in 2016.

Acquisition & merger creates leading UK Fixed Wireless Provider

derek.oliver@infoserve.com (Derek Oliver) — Tue, 16 Feb 2016 21:24:35 GMT

Boundless Networks has become one of the UK’s leading Fixed Wireless Internet Service Providers for business and residential customers following an acquisition and merger of Leeds-based LN Communications and Lancashire’s Boundless Communications.

LN Communications’ acquisition of Boundless Communications creates the new, enlarged organisation, Boundless Networks, offering coast-to-coast wireless coverage across the North of England. Its new critical mass allows it to service even more properties, deliver even better service levels and offer a richer set of products to its customers at better value.

Boundless Networks now has one of the largest wireless coverage footprints of any such specialist internet service provider in the country. High speed internet access is now essential for businesses and homes, but traditional broadband providers such as BT and Virgin Media are constrained by the use of underground or overhead cables. This makes their coverage patchy and inconsistent. LN and Boundless have been independently working on this problem for many years and delivering superfast connectivity to thousands of properties, especially businesses, across Lancashire and Yorkshire.

Entrepreneur and Boundless Networks Chairman David Hood comments: “High speed wireless technology operated by Boundless Networks represents the only cost effective and reliable technology for the hundreds of thousands of premises across the UK that have been left behind by the traditional players. Our wireless services are loved by our rural and urban clients, who get access speeds from 10Mbps to 1Gbps. The technical expertise and advanced cloud services developed by Boundless, together with LN’s community-led focus will ensure Boundless Networks can become the de facto high speed choice for customers across the whole of the North of England and beyond.”

The combined organisation has wireless coverage of over 3,500 square miles and operates a private national fibre network from its data centre in Manchester.

With the UK Government committed to broadband speeds of 10Mbps for everyone in the UK, and up to 1.5 million rural households currently being told they will have to wait for two to three years before getting a basic internet service required for a ‘typical’ family home, Boundless Networks is well placed to provide a solution for these households and rural businesses.

“We believe Boundless Networks is the fastest and largest Fibre Wireless Internet Service Provider in rural and remote areas of the UK; we offer the most reliable broadband connections to homes and businesses,” says David.
