Tom Williams the Chief Operating Officer and Tony Mitchell the Network Director of Hyperoptic gave a technical account on some of the challenges Hyperoptic have overcome over the years.
The typical last mile challenge is a key differentiator for Hyperoptic, whose end to end edge services can deliver 30MB, 150MB or 1GB full fibre. They spoke about how GPON architecture can be used to service ' not spots ' making sure the service-area can achieve its economic potential. The Hyperoptic technology proposition is very simple which complements their ability to scale fibre services.


In 2002, I researched how to optimise and extend satellite engineering knowledge to provide VOIP over residential carrier grade network, specifically using the DECT protocol. I found that to achieve good call QoS quality for at least 6 simultaneous users, the right codec had to be selected to ensure a good link rate - including channel selection for DECT Vs VOIP frequency ranges.

With Hyperoptic technology architecture - clearly there will be more than 6 users who can experience the best call quality as their ecosystem includes the last mile into your home. The Hyperoptic solution is a wired offering, however, cellular services were mentioned and that the convergence of carrier grade networks is now fast approaching... which means you can watch, call, video and stream many things on many many devices -  multi tasking at its best !
