  We consider the possibility of Higgs mechanism in the bulk in a generalised
Randall-Sundrum model, where a nonvanishing cosmological constant is induced on
the visible brane. This scenario has the advantage of accommodating positive
tension of the visible brane and thus ensures stability of the model. It is
shown that several problems usually associated with this mechanism are avoided
if some dimensionful parameters in the bulk are allowed to lie a little below
the Planck mass. The most important of these is keeping the lowest massive mode
in the scale of the standard electroweak model, and at the same time reducing
the gauge coupling of the next excited state, thus ameliorating otherwise
stringent phenomenological constraints.
