Taylor Swift Chooses Baltic Broadband

By Baltic Company News, Interesting Things, Music

Completed: Our team enjoyed working on the new #TaylorSwift (I Can See You) music video that was filmed in the Cunard Building, which is part of our Connected Venues Network.

We enabled the film set with 1Gbps from our Temporary Internet product, complete with rush uploads and a high density WiFi system that was used for various production departments.

Our customer said:

“Baltic provided us with a high speed 1 Gbps leased-line for a week-long filming project in Liverpool City Centre. The service, complete with high density WiFi was set up across multiple levels in the same building; in a large open-plan office and on our set, allowing both our crew and visitors to connect trouble free while having use of printers and rush upload ports throughout”

“We were very happy with the great friendly service provided by Baltic and would strongly recommend them in the future”

Homeworkers: Installation Refused!

By Baltic Company News, Interesting Things, Landlord and Tenant

With no fibre present in the building and the landlord refusing to allow us to install it, how does one get fast Broadband for this “work from home” customer?

Simple. One call to Baltic Broadband. Oh, hang on … .the landlord has also denied access to put a wireless antenna onto the roof…and said “you can do what you want in the apartment and window as that is the tenants’, however you are not allowed on the roof or anywhere else” (without a substantial payment!)

No problem. Baltic made a custom mount and attached it to the customers window, with a special flat cable that fits between the window seals, providing 350Mbps upload and download with guaranteed speeds and a 4-hour SLA.

From business conferences, exhibitions, corporate events, product launches, sporting events, fashion shows, government events, art fairs, pop-up shops, muddy fields, disused warehouses, docksides, moving vehicles, churches and even flying 1500ft in the air , we’ve yet to be beaten by a connectivity challenge.

Featured Customer: Bagel Factory

By Baltic Company News, Featured Customer

The team at Baltic Broadband has just completed a new tenant install for the Bagel Factory on Wall Street, in Liverpool One.

The Bagel Factory is known for serving super-fresh bagels, tasty snacks, chilled drinks and Lavazza coffees. Their primary focus is on sourcing high-quality ingredients to produce fresh and healthy food.

This project was quite a challenge, getting underground fibre (with no entry directly) into this kiosk that was built after the estate opened, with us having to come up with some innovative ideas to “magic” the cable into the kiosk and without affecting other tenants on the estate during their trading hours.

Working in the rain at 6am (before most places opened), we worked through the early hours to connect the new tenant onto our 100Gbps fibre network that circles Liverpool One, getting them live within 5 days from the order and more importantly live days before their opening day.

LCRDC Launch Baltic Triangle Elevator Data Centre

By Baltic Company News, Data Centre

Liverpool City Region Data Centres have today launched a new Micro data centre, located in Liverpool City Centre.

Strategically located within the South of the City, this Micro Data Centre is a central gateway to the local digital businesses, such as those in gaming, sensors and other tech businesses.

This Liverpool City Centre Colocation facility is ideal for edge nodes and low latency, immersive and real-time applications that require data to be closer to the end user.

Available space for customers include Single U, Multi U and Quarter Rack options with low power density requirements for small servers, single board computers and similar appliances.

Previously, offering Data Centre space had been a service that has enhanced customers digital connectivity by allowing them to move their IT hardware outside of their office and into a Data Centre within the Liverpool City Region, while still being connected at LAN speeds and low latency.

Over the last 2 years, the demand for Data Centre space has risen, especially with the high costs of the cloud, more and more businesses are now looking at what they can do to keep their data local to their operations, quite often, just a few street away from their premises.

Baltic Broadband’s LCRDC is growing it’s data centres substantially this coming year and has plans to offer multiple small scale Data Centres that will provide Edge & Micro Colocation across Liverpool, Sefton, Knowsley, St Helen’s, Halton & the Wirral. These new generation of small scale data centres will help enable 5G applications, Media Streaming, Driverless Cars, Drone Deliveries, the Internet of Things, especially with such data centres being installed deep within Communities.

Optical fibre in golden color

How to Survive a Fibre Break

By Baltic Company News

Worried about a possible Fibre Cut?  You should be.  Though fibre is perceived as a “perfect” media, fibre is fragile and repairs take days or weeks requiring specialist skills and equipment.

A fibre break is an accidental break in an optical fiber, typically due to new construction in the area. 

Unfortunately, in the UK at least and due to the vast new amount of infrastructure and recent new build of fibre, fibre breaks are now very common.

But while fibre optic cabling is traditionally seen as the safer option, that may be a misconception.  When installed correctly, fibre optics is the “perfect” media, transmitting Gigabits of data without interruption.  

However, any disruption to the fragile fibre causes data outages which take days or weeks to locate and repair.  The armoured covering around the fibre cable may keep it safe from rodents but is no protection against mechanical diggers, street works and other forms of disruption. 

One easy way to avoid the problems related to cut fibre is to consider a wireless alternative or backup to an existing fibre as a resilient path, such as Baltic Broadband’s Fixed Wireless Access Product, which sends internet wirelessly through the air.

Better still, using a product that combines both fibre and wireless gives perfect network resilience, such as the hugely successful Baltic Bulletproof.

For example, if there is a disruption to the fibre optics at street level, the wireless link up on a rooftop level does not suffer – and vice versa.  

In one real-world example, after a fibre cut in Liverpool City Centre in 2022 that served a large office block of businesses that were without internet for 12 days, the landlord decided to install Baltic Bulletproof as a solution.

Around a year later, the same property suffered another fibre break due to local street works, however this time around, not a single tenant noticed any difference, and the landlord was surprised to receive a phone call from Baltic Broadband about such a cut.

If you experience a fibre break (and are with another provider), Baltic offers an Emergency Service to get you back on.

Finally, you may wish to consider a more resilient service that utilises both fibre and wireless technology, which are the perfect pair for maximum uptime for your business.
