Bydd cynllun newydd yn cael ei gyflwyno heddiw er mwyn helpu busnesau o fewn Ardaloedd Menter a Thwf Lleol i dalu costau gwibgyswllt â’r Rhyngrwyd.

Yn ddiamau mae cysylltedd o’r radd flaenaf â’r Rhyngrwyd yn gwbl allweddol i bob busnes, o’r rhai lleiaf i’r rhai mwyaf. Wrth gwrs mae anghenion pob busnes yn unigryw, gan ddibynnu ar swm a math y data y maent yn ymwneud â hwy. Efallai na fydd microfusnes ond angen gallu anfon e\-byst, diweddaru ei wefan a phori tra gallai busnesau bach eraill fod angen lled band llawer iawn mwy er mwyn gallu anfon a derbyn ffeiliau mwy neu ddefnyddio’r cwmwl. Gallai busnesau mwy fod â gofynion sylweddol iawn o ran data sy’n golygu bod angen cysylltiadau penodol gyda chyflymderau lanlwytho a lawrlwytho cymesur.

Mae ein prosiect Cyflymu Cymru yn darparu cyflymderau lanlwytho o hyd at 330Mbps, gan ddibynnu ar y dechnoleg a gaiff ei defnyddio. Bydd y rhan fwyaf o safleoedd yn gallu derbyn cyflymder o o leiaf 30Mbps (61Mbps ar gyfartaledd o dan Cyflymu Cymru). Bydd y lled band hwn yn fwy na digon i’r rhan fwyaf o fusnesau bach a chanolig. Eto i gyd efallai y bydd angen rhagor o gapasiti ar rai busnesau mwy a’r rhai sydd â gofynion mawr o ran data.

Mae cynhyrchion masnachol ar gael a fydd yn sicrhau’r capasiti mwy yma, er enghraifft datrysiad sy’n golygu ffeibr i’r safle neu gyswllt diwifr capasiti uchel. Nid yw’r rhain ar gael ar draws Cymru gyfan ar hyn o bryd, fodd bynnag, ond bwriedir mynd ati i geisio sicrhau bod modd i fwy o bobl fanteisio arnynt. Trwy ysgogi’r galw am y cynhyrchion hyn drwy’r Daleb Gwibgyswllt gobeithir gallu sicrhau y byddant ar gael i fwy o bobl.  

Opsiwn arall yw datrysiad Ethernet sy’n darparu gwibgyswllt penodol a dirwystr o dros 100Mbps. Mae’r mathau hyn o gysylltiadau yn sicrhau’r lled band angenrheidiol ar gyfer busnesau canolig a busnesau mwy ynghyd â’r cydnerthedd sydd ei angen arnynt. Gallai busnesau o’r fath gynnwys rhai lle y mae nifer uchel o staff yn defnyddio cyfrifiaduron sy’n ymdrin â llawer iawn o ddata neu rai lle y mae’r cyflymderau sicr a gaiff eu cynnig gan linell ddirwystr yn gwbl hanfodol.

Mae cysylltiadau Ethernet sy’n defnyddio ffeibr lawer yn fwy costus nag opsiynau eraill, a gall y costau cyfalaf ymlaen llaw fod yn sylweddol. Gall gostio miloedd o bunnoedd i sicrhau cysylltedd a gosod cyswllt ffeibr penodol i’r safle. Yn amlwg gall y costau cychwynnol hyn fod yn gryn rwystr i rai busnesau.

Bydd Cynllun y Taleb Gwibgyswllt yn helpu busnesau i dalu’r costau cyfalaf sydd ynghlwm wrth greu gwibgyswllt data – sef cyflymder lawrlwytho o 100Mps, man lleiaf, cyflymder lanlwytho o 30Mps, man lleiaf, a chyswllt dirwystr (hy mae’r capasiti a gaiff ei hysbysebu ar gael bron â bod gydol yr amser). Yn unol â’n blaenoriaethau economaidd bydd y Cynllun Taleb ar gael yn y rhan fwyaf o Ardaloedd Menter ac Ardaloedd Twf Lleol i ddechrau. Bydd y Cynllun yn darparu cyllid o hyd at £10,000\. Bydd yn ariannu’n llwyr y £3,000 cyntaf ac yna 50 y cant y gost rhwng £3,000 ac £17,000\. Bydd disgwyl i fusnesau ddarparu arian cyfatebol ar gyfer y 50% sy’n weddill ac unrhyw gostau eraill sydd uwchlaw £17,000\.  

Dyma gam arall yn y gwaith o geisio sicrhau bod gan Gymru un o’r cysylltiadau gorau yn y byd.

Mae rhagor o wybodaeth am y Cynllun gan gynnwys manylion ynghylch ymgeisio a’r meini prawf cymhwystra ar gael ar lein.

Today sees the introduction of a new scheme to help businesses in Enterprise and Local Growth Zones meet the costs of ultrafast Internet connectivity.


There can be no question that first class Internet connectivity is paramount for all businesses from the smallest micro\-business to the largest multinational. Of course the needs of each business are unique depending on the amount and type of data involved. A micro\-business may only require the ability to send email, update their website and browse, other small businesses may require much greater bandwidth to send and receive larger files or access the cloud. Larger businesses may have very large data requirements that necessitate dedicated connections with symmetrical up and download speeds.


Our Superfast Cymru project provides download speeds of up to 330Mbps depending on the technology used. Most premises will be capable of receiving speeds of at least 30Mbps (on average 61Mbps under Superfast Cymru).  For most SMEs this will provide more than enough bandwidth.  However, some larger businesses and those with large data requirements will require greater capacity.


There are commercial products available that will provide this greater capacity, for example via a fibre to the premises type solution or a high capacity wireless connection. At present though these are not available across all of Wales, although there are plans to expand coverage.  It is hoped that by stimulating demand for these products via the Ultrafast Voucher, they will become more widely available.


Another option is an Ethernet solution which provides dedicated and uncontested ultrafast connections, those in excess of 100Mbps. These types of connections provide medium and larger businesses with the guaranteed bandwidth and the greater resilience they require, for example, businesses with greater numbers of computer using staff that use a large amounts of data or where guaranteed speeds offered by an uncontested line are essential.


Fibre based Ethernet connections are considerably more costly than other options, and the upfront capital costs can be considerable. The costs of connectivity and the excess construction costs of laying a dedicated fibre connection to the premises does run into thousands of pounds.  Unsurprisingly these initial costs can be a real barrier for some businesses.


The Ultrafast Connectivity Voucher scheme will help businesses to cover the capital costs associated with providing an ultrafast data connection – defined as at least 100Mbps download, at least 30Mbps upload and uncontended (ie the advertised capacity is consistently available). In line with our economic priorities the voucher scheme will initially be available in most Enterprise Zones and Local Growth Zones.  The scheme will provide funding of up to £10,000\. It will provide 100 per cent funding for the first £3,000 and 50 per cent between £3,000 and £17,000\. The business will be expected to match fund the remaining 50% and any further costs over £17,000\.


This represents another piece in the jigsaw in making Wales one of the most connected countries in the world.


More information about the scheme including details of how to apply and the eligibility criteria are available online.
