Rural VoIP solutions benefit from broadband roll-out
VoIP service users in Lincolnshire could benefit from the expected expansion of fibre-optic broadband in the area.
Fibrestream is rolling-out its 100Mbps broadband network across the county and has recently released an aerial shot of the next district to receive the technology.
The pictures appear to show the small parish villages of Ashby de la Launde and Bloxholm, which would connect 796 people to the super-fast network.
Next-generation broadband will provide rural customers and businesses with improved VoIP solutions as the faster network would allow for advanced call quality.
Guy Jarvis, chief executive of FibreStream, expressed his belief that fibre-optic broadband could easily be deployed in Lincolnshire.
He told the BBC website: "Old railway tracks provide a ready-made corridor for fibre".
The network could also be accessed by a remote community in Humber via Wi-Fi, which would have a huge impact on emergency services area.
Currently, there is no broadband access for the Humber lifeboat crew and their families who live on an isolated part of land in the area.
Dave Steenvoorden, coxswain of the Humber lifeboat organisation, is hopeful that the move could also help save lives.
He told the BBC website: "A lot of RNLI training is done online. At the moment uploading a 30 second video of a rescue can take a couple of hours and may not work if the connection falls off. This network will help us operationally."
The Humber lifeboat crew could also consider implementing VoIP solutions, as they provide a more reliable connection than traditional call networks.
