Horizon Communications: The Internet in Bermuda? Soon very soon!

Are you complaining that sometimes you have a video on a 1080p smartphone? Well, do so that your words are not audible to any resident of Bermuda who can afford a phone like you, but does not buy it, because he does not see the point. The thing is that the project of Horizon Communications , which will make the citizens of the country proud of their speed of connection to the Internet, has not yet earned in Bermuda .

A country with money and expensive communications

If we talk about poor countries, then it will be very easy before your eyes to have an image of poor housing and meager food, where children play with each other in old and large clothes. If you talk about rich countries, then you immediately imagine that like the Arab Emirates, where the city travels exclusively supercars, people are dressed in bright quality fabrics and everything is permeated with technology.

But what exactly you can not imagine is a rich and developed region, where it is very difficult to find a stable Internet connection. Moreover, although this country does not have complete independence from the British crown, it occupies the fourth place in the world in terms of GDP per capita. Its profits from tourism can be envied by the French-Italian Riviera, and thanks to a loyal tax system, this place is very densely filled with business from all over the world. Become acquainted - Bermuda.

With the Internet, here and the truth is tight. Even big companies that pay for a connection somewhere 20 times more than you and I will not be able to show the new issues of The Big Bang Theory in good quality. It's all about the island's location and the fact that underwater communications are difficult to navigate through the landscape of the Bermuda bottom. Nevertheless, they need the Internet exactly as we do with us. Besides, in addition to local residents who are willy-nilly accustomed to the Internet as a very scarce commodity, here every day there come airplanes with tourists and ships with commercial cargo, as Bermuda is still something of a transport hub, despite all the legends about the mystical properties of the "triangle".

A New Hope for the Internet

The problem, which we talked about above, is quite acute for Bermudians. You can see for yourself by means of the fact that a person who is going to use the LTE standard and give all the nearby islands access to a wireless connection - Gilbert A. Darrell, is more likely to make someone like a national hero. About him even shot a video on national television in the news. By the way, Gilbert's decision works for TV.

What is the essence of the project? It's pretty simple. Once with cable communications in Bermuda did not work out, it is quite logical to create a network that will be completely built on wireless connections. LTE technology allows you to place the towers at a significant distance from each other. For example, a small city can be provided with only three of them, and areas that will remain uncovered can easily be networked with small local signal amplifiers. And all this with the use of only one cable connection - to electricity.

All this will significantly reduce the cost of connection and, as a consequence, the tariffs for the direct user. Want to be a bit surprised? Well, we'll arrange this for you. A little lower you see the price list of the Internet cost from one of the providers. All this reminds the era when, in order to write to someone in ICQ, we had to pull a long and fragile cable from the telephone socket to the network card of the computer. It was then that Internet prices were incredibly high. By the way, about that era reminds not only the price, but also the speed of the Internet, which is offered on the price list. But even then in the most remote places from big cities there was not such a high price. So, when Mr. Darrell launches his project with LTE support, many companies will have to leave the market.

At what, it will save not only the installation of equipment, but also its maintenance. In the concept, when only one signal amplifier or a tower element not connected by wires to the network goes out of operation, it can not damage the whole chain of elements, as is the case for wired connections.
