[show]With rural connectivity still a nationwide issue, WCCTV aims to tackle this and expand our security reach with Starlink, an alternative network solution. Learn more about how you can overcome such challenges with your next project and the benefits available to you.
The Connectivity Challenges for Rural and Remote Locations
Over recent years, there has been a boost in rural connectivity, with 47% of rural premises having access to gigabit-capable broadband as of January 2024. This has increased since September 2023 from 44%, however, compared to 84% for urban areas, connectivity is still behind.
The availability to a stable connection through broadband, 4G and 5G is less reliable within rural and remote areas which heavily impacts all industries where projects or construction sites exist there.
Although, under the Government, enhanced funding aims to boost connectivity to facilitate seamless, reliable service, WCCTV aim to support you now through Starlink.
The Benefits of Providing Rural Connectivity through Starlink
By utilising Starlink’s network, WCCTV now offer businesses across multiple industries internet connectivity through this method, specifically aimed at providing projects in rural and remote locations connectivity for our security cameras and CCTV Towers.
There are multiple benefits in supplying this service, these are:
Provides a Robust Network to Allow for 24/7 Security Monitoring
As rural and remote locations lack consistency, you can lose out on high-quality options such as, CCTV Towers and their multiple benefits as it can be difficult to gain the connection required.
By working with Starlink, they provide a robust network for our CCTV Towers and other products to connect with to allow for 24/7 monitoring and ensure we can offer our full service.
Increased Security Coverage
Losing connectivity is a security risk, and this is more likely in rural and remote locations.
Starlink not only resolves this issue but expands the coverage that can be provided by WCCTV, meaning that more businesses can be provided with high-quality, reliable security.

Using Starlink’s connection ensures our easy installation process can continue for all businesses that we provide our service to. This reduces delays in setting up your security.

This ensures that standards remain the same whilst utilising a more reliable network in locations where connectivity can be difficult.
Combating Rural Connectivity
As nationwide improvements continue to take place for rural connectivity, many industries cannot press pause on their security and the protection of their business.
It’s important that even in locations where there is less connectivity or a lack of it, there is no reduction in the security service provided. Working with Starlink removes those barriers to ensure that quality service can be continued and expanded on across the UK.
