Connecting Scotland Without Wires!

“Quite a few of us work remotely. In the past when the satellite connection failed, we found ourselves having to drive to the nearest internet café, which could be anything from a half hour to several hours drive away depending on what was open. Now we can do everything we need to right here in Drimnin.”

“We had grown used to continual buffering and internet speeds of less than 1 Mbps which effectively limited our internet usage to email only.  Now we have 30 Mbps and have joined the 21st century (and Netflix!).  Rapier has done a great job and it has really helped running the farming business and for people staying in the holiday cottages.”

“Since first opening our doors in 2017, we’ve struggled with even the most basic tasks such as taking card payments, with the result that sometimes we had to leave our customers waiting while we tried to fix the connection or arrange to collect the money later. Now, we’re able to do online banking, video conferencing, screen sharing – all the latest advances that make running a business a whole lot easier.”

“Despite all the complications and peculiarities that working in a remote community brought they remained determined to help. We are enormously grateful for their professionalism, sense of humour and determination as they have achieved exactly what we were looking for. Often going the extra mile, many of which have been nautical miles as they criss-crossed the Sound of Mull to successfully connect our community firstly with Tobermory on Mull and finally with the rest of the world”
