Alncom Teach Kids in Northumberland How to Build FTTP Broadband - News by ISPreview UK

World Wide Web from a wood and a classroom without walls. Our latest community project has been a heart-warming one. 🎬 https://lnkd.in/eDxEevZZ Clarty Commando’s is a ‘Forest School’ set up in the grounds of Howick Estate near Alnwick in Northumberland, where children of all ages can experience learning in a unique environment, with focus on practical rather than academic activities. Alncom were asked to devise some training so the students could learn some of the skills required to deploy fibre broadband. The idea being that students could gain an understanding of how the internet gets into their homes. But what we actually thought was that this was a great opportunity to build a fibre network into the wood where the Forest School is based, and why not get the Duchess High School students to build it themselves!  World Wide Web in a Wood - no problem. Students from Alnwick’s Duchess Community High School Development Group 2 were given an overview of network design and from this they were able to carry out a site survey, design the network and create ‘job packs’. Under very close supervision from Lawrie Stevenson and using their ‘job packs’, the students physically built 250m of fibre network, connecting the Forest School to Alncom’s core network, using a mole plough and by hand. They installed duct, built a chamber, spliced joints then even setup WiFi to the site. Team building, life-long skills and listening skills that every one of the students loved. Founder of Clarty Commandos Mark Tuff said; “Alncom are amazing, they’ve helped us several times as well as this fantastic project. They helped after Storm Arwen, a devastating fire and we’ve never had to ask for help, they’re just there. They know what’s going on and they know how to help.” Alncom as a company like to help the community and we like to help in anyway we can. A special well done to Lawrie Stevenson who has excelled in this very special classroom “without walls”.

We're now offering custom designed wallpaper for local businesses. Take a look at this brilliant project we recently undertook for alncom right here in Alnwick. We manufactured and fitted this eye-catching wallpaper and we're over the moon with the vibrant, high quality finish. It has completely transformed their space. Custom wallpaper isn't just for walls, it can be used for covering reception areas, creating entry signs and adding a wow factor to feature walls. A great way to showcase your brand and make a lasting impression.
