There are numerous safety considerations associated with MDU installations, impacting not only the building itself but also the residents, operatives, future maintenance, fire safety, asbestos management, access and egress, installation methods, and working areas both inside and outside the property. The type of building plays a significant part in these considerations - selecting the appropriate components and installation methodologies is crucial for ensuring safety. It is not unreasonable for a freeholder to be permitted to agree, sign off on access, sign off on an agreeable planning pack, know what is happening & when, and then sign off on the job when completed – whilst keeping their leaseholders updated & protected It can be the case that ISPs prioritize speed and cost, which can potentially lead to shortcuts that compromise safety, even before considering factors like quality, robustness, and suitability. If the ISP is given “automatic rights” how can the freeholder be expected to control things in their building. “upgrading existing” & “the deployment of new fibre installations” are two different things – clearly those deliberating this need to properly understand the difference, so as not to make a uneducated blunder. Much of the noise about increasing automatic rights is down to an underestimation by BT Openreach of the challenge of gaining permissions to deploy in MDU’s This is especially so in High Density areas, where other ISP’s have already been working and may have already (unintentionally) made things even harder for Openreach (by virtue of poor installation practices, making the freeholder wary). Altnets have successfully been working really hard at this challenge for many years, but Openreach are only just coming across this critical tricky task – changing the law to make it easier for one party is unfair & unreasonable on the ISP's who have been playing by the rules.

Embracing innovation in multi-family housing with #AccessControl. Access control is evolving with the integration of new technology solutions used in hotels and multifamily housing.

The multi-tenant #digitaldivide can exist in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Fixed Wireless Access can get a broadband signal to a multi-tenant building. The challenge is distributing that signal to all the rooms in the building.

Great use of existing reachable services in each council to gather insights that all Operators can use to improve service for customers! It will need collaboration from the local authority's as well to allow Operators access to key sites quickly in order to drive those improvements for constituents. 👏
