What are Broadband Connection Points (BCPs)?

Broadband Connection Points (or BCPs) are public locations which have been selected to receive high-speed connectivity in the first year of the National Broadband Plan. The locations of the BCPs have been selected by the local authorities and include public areas such as community halls, libraries, sports facilities, enterprise hubs, tourist locations and other public spaces.

What can BCPs be used for?

Each BCP will have up to 150Mb high-speed Vodafone broadband, with indoor and outdoor WiFi access for the local community. This will enable people living in the area, visitors or tourists to go to their local BCP for any kind of personal or business use from work to study or social activity.

What does this have to do with the National Broadband Plan?

The National Broadband Plan is an ambitious project spanning 96% of the country’s land mass and the roll-out will take time, this is the first phase of that plan. The Broadband Connection Point or Connected Communities initiative was borne out of recognising the urgency to connect rural communities as quickly as possible to ensure businesses, community centres, students and others can connect to high-speed broadband for things such as e-learning and digital tourism.
