‘Open access’ fibre internet

 Cloud based internet service provision


Who we are

Rushmere is a UK start-up passionate about smart last mile connectivity. We work towards an Internet where users have real choice of ISPs and price plans (‘open access’) for an integrated cloud service experience - ready for AI and other high bandwidth, low latency services.

For future internet services, we need to virtualize last mile telecoms networks. Virtualization is a process that allows a network to share its hardware resources with multiple optically separated environments (how it works). Each virtualized environment has its allocated resources, such as bandwidth, service level and network tunneling. Virtualization delivers high bandwidth at low cost.

How it works: cloud based internet service

.

Rushmere’s scalable, smart optics consolidates telecoms network resources to deliver multiples of bandwidth and capacity utilization.

PON, Passive Optical Network: the exchange environment (‘switch’) that routes light to destinations

OE, opto-electronic converter: converts data into light and transmits light down the fibre

Smart OE converter: Rushmere’s OE converter creates multiple optically separated PONs (virtual PONs)

Last mile fibre: the feeder that connects the Internet with users. Fibre is a passive conduit that carries light

OE converters: XGS-PON vs smart XGS-PON
