It will give South Yorkshire the first major regional deployment of “Superfast Broadband” in the UK, not only bringing improved access to a whole range of entertainment, business and public sector services, but importantly attracting new investment and new jobs – for young and old – into Barnsley and the rest of South Yorkshire.
The Digital Region marks the start of a new “Digital Age” in South Yorkshire putting the region at the Digital centre of the UK and Europe. The network which is being designed, built and operated by Thales will cover the city, towns and villages of Barnsley, Sheffield, Doncaster and Rotherham and serve a population of over 1.3 million people, 546,000 homes and 40,000 businesses. Digital Region is bringing the people of South Yorkshire Superfast Broadband and that can’t be a bad thing.
It will provide you with a unique opportunity to grow your business both locally and in the global marketplace. It is your chance to exploit this world class infrastructure and position your business ahead of the game.
Digital Region brings “big” bandwidth (minimum of 25mb) business solutions that are affordable to the small and medium sized business and it supports affordable virtual private networks (VPN’s) allowing you to connect to all your locations, or your workers, wherever they are. South Yorkshire will be the first place in the UK where Next Generation Broadband is so ubiquitous that it can be considered as the 4th utility.
