Following on from http://www.fibrestream.co.uk/2009/05/21/rnli-next-gen-access-challenge/ today some friends of RNLI, FibreStream’s partners Emtelle delivered the materials to site to create the passive FttH network for the RNLI Humber crew and their families.

Fibre Nears the Home

The next step towards next gen access is to bury the microducts and for that FibreStream is Shouting Out for RNLI.

For the lifeboat crew and their families to go out “on a shout” means the RNLI crew risking life and limb to save others in trouble at sea

Here’s your chance to help them in return

Fibrestream is leading the project to provide the latest FttH (Fibre to theHome) Next Generation of ultrafast broadband (100Mbps symmetric to start off with)  in partnership with Emtelle, AFL Telecommunications, LG Nortel, Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Steve Medcalf Builders.

The fibre optic cables and ducting have been delivered to site and the next step is to bury them!

Which is where people who want to support RNLI come in – This is a shout to come down to Spurn, pick up a shovel and help the crew to dig their own fibre.

FttH is the future for HDTV, voice and ultrafast broadband and uses a Fibre optic cable all the way to each home doing away with the copper phone wires of old.

A whole raft of other advanced services like eHealthcare, TeleMedicine, Safe Access to the internet for school kids are all made possible by FibreStream Next Generation Access (NGA)

Fibrestream is proud to bring FttH to the crew and families of RNLI Humber, located in one of the most remote-rural parts of the country.

So c’mon if you want to lend a hand then please get in touch and together we can fix a day and get digging!
