Kingscote Satellite Broadband Trial – Clarification

To give clarification to those of you who were unable to attend the meeting on 13th October, if you chose to go on the satellite telephony and internet trial, you would not be expected to give up your existing provider’s service but, rather, would run your existing service alongside for the period of the trial service that DICE/Global Invacom will be undertaking. This would allow you to easily compare the service received.

After the period of the trial you would be able to then decide whether it would be appropriate to use the new service or to remain with your existing provider.

If you wish to sign up to the trial, please use the survey form link below to complete your details by 27th October.

Further to the presentation given by Steve Leighton (CEO) and Matthew Appleton (Technology Director) of DICE in the Village Hall on Monday, please below a link to a survey form that residents in the village (and surrounding) can complete to let DICE know of their willingness to participate in the trial.

Survey Form for Participation in Kingscote Internet & Telephony Trial

Please complete the form by Monday 27th October if possible.

Once they receive your information, DICE will respond to each participant individually and discuss the specifics of your need to ensure that they generate the two-way dialogue mentioned at the presentation.

The next stage will be to undertake a site survey and then to determine how many satellite entry points will be needed, where these will be located, how they will be powered, signal distributed, received by participants etc.

Regards.
