At the request of the Business Park South Association, Dialogic conducted an exploratory study into the feasibility, costs, and service offerings of a possible broadband initiative at the Business Park South in Zierikzee. Through a quick scan, we analysed the situation at the business park and the implementation of broadband on similar industrial estates. Additionally, conversations were held with various providers of fibre optic infrastructure on business parks. The results were presented during a meeting of the business association at the town hall of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland.
The exploratory study revealed that a fibre optic connection enables these Zeeland entrepreneurs to (a) save on telephony and internet costs, (b) set up their ICT cheaper, better, and more securely, and (c) access numerous innovative services. Collective camera surveillance is perhaps the best example of such an innovative service. Savings of €300 - €5000 per year are realistic through fibre optic. Furthermore, demand aggregation has proven to be successful on many business parks. It aids in clarifying the demand and increasing negotiation leverage. A good start to a concrete demand aggregation is the collection of letters of intent from the entrepreneurs.
