This technology was developed by « Country Vals de Saintonge » with the main objective to maintain the presence in Poursay-Garnaud. Eight years later an experimentation of 17-Numérique, the delegate of General Council of Charente-Maritime for the digital development allows to open new horizons.
Since January 2013, BDR takes advantages of the very high speed Internet which is possible thanks to the optical fiber of 10 Mbit/s and a radio contact of 5.7 km. This experimentation will run over one year with the objective to inscribe this technology to the catalogue of service of 17-Numerique on all Charente-Maritime.
The community of communes of Saint Jean d’Angély, 17- Numérique and E-WI TELECOM, local telecommunications operator worked together to develop a radio contact between Fontorbe where the optical fiber arrives and the site of BDR. A technical challenge that allows BDR to work more efficiently with important French and international manufacturers. From now on it will be possible to send high definition digitized plans, to receive rapidly e-mails and to have meeting by video conference. BDR’s saying would be without doubt : « if Internet doesn’t come to you, then go get it where it is ».
