A not-for Profit- limited company based in South Witham deep in rural Lincolnshire, South Witham Broadband Ltd operate a community wireless broadband service based on innovative Mesh network technology, delivering high speed broadband access to five villages, an area of approximately 20 sq miles. SWBB Ltd now have over 100 users! 56% of all web requests are served from the local community Mesh at 11Mb/s and don’t need to be downloaded from the internet which makes installation of software such as XP SP2 a breeze, local mail, WEB and FTP servers are deployed which vastly increases the speed of services for the local community. The Mesh is basically a high speed community WAN whose speed and services cannot be matched by large ISP’s deploying ADSL services. The network provides SWBB with the ability to utilise many types of internet feed such as multiple satellite systems, or a combination of satellite, ADSL, DSL, cable etc by using multiple gateways providing a backhaul neutral network, allowing SWBB Ltd to take advantage of new technologies and suppliers such as BT, NTL etc as the market evolves. New services are coming onboard such as low cost security cameras, intelligent CCTV services, community forums, local servers for games and multimedia, also shared capital facilities like high quality print and plot services.

We have developed an asterisk VOIP PBX system which is providing free/low cost telephony to anywhere in the world and are leading the way for other community broadband networks to implement the same.
