There are plans afoot to roll out the scheme to Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Preston, Rochdale, Salford and Tameside soon
Plans for a new network of ‘air-fibre’ poles that carry high speed broadband across Oldham have been unveiled. IX Wireless has applied to the council for 29 poles to be installed, each 15 metres in height, in various locations across the borough.
The applications in Oldham have been submitted under permitted development rights, meaning they do not require planning permission from the local authority. A planning statement submitted on behalf of one application states that IX Wireless is committed to dedicating 20pc of its network bandwidth capacity to address digital exclusion, as part of its ‘Internet for Everyone’ campaign.
The system works from cabinets which are directly linked to data centre centres from which they receive full fibre broadband. Telegraph poles then carry fibre cables overhead from the cabinet to the transmitter which acts as a broadcasting mast.
