Beautifully Converted Historical Barns Enjoying Cost Efficient, Future Proof, Technology.

BICESTER, U.K. - July 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Bignell Park Barns located in Chesterton, nr Bicester is an attractive conversion of stone-built farm buildings into high-quality, modern offices suitable for small and medium sized businesses. The buildings are set around a courtyard in a well-maintained, parkland setting. There is ample parking and easy access to the M40, A34 and fast rail services in nearby Bicester.

The most attractive features to tenants are those that reduce their costs and improve their efficiency. The owner of Bignell Park Barns has recognised this and has implemented two enhancements that reduce both running costs and the carbon footprint of the offices.

The first enhancement is the installation of solar photo-voltaic panels. Tenants benefit from free access to the electricity generated which reduces their electricity bills. This is particularly attractive for businesses as peak electricity generation occurs while they are using most electricity; during office hours.

The impetus for the second enhancement was created by the high level of public debate on the issue of fast broadband access, particularly in poorly served rural areas, and the dramatically increased use of “cloud-based” services, particularly those transferring large volumes of data such as online backup services.

This led the owner to make the decision to install highly-reliable, optical fibre Internet access to each unit. This provides a guaranteed, uncontended speed of 10Mbps for both upload and download, with the ability to instantaneously burst to 100Mbps in both directions to each tenant. For a lot of the time the connection will feel like a 100Mbps connection to each tenant. In addition, because of the use of fibre optic cabling for the entire length of the connection, speeds can be quickly and cost-effectively upgraded to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps) and beyond, as needed.

The key benefits to tenants are:

A fast, reliable connection can be working on the day tenants move in rather than waiting typically 90 days for a dedicated leased line to be installed
The “shared provision” approach means that the monthly cost for the guaranteed 10Mbps, (burstable to 100Mbps) is around 20% of the cost of a dedicated 10Mbps leased line, making fast reliable Internet access affordable for even small businesses
Providing access to high quality Internet-based telephony (VoIP), avoiding the intermittent problems experienced using services such as Skype on standard broadband lines. This can substantially reduce telephony costs as well as enabling additional functionality such as being able to pick up office phone calls when working from home.
