Broadband provider accelerates gigabit fibre
connections across the South of England
ADTRAN, Inc., (NASDAQ:ADTN), the leading provider of
next-generation open networking and subscriber experience
solutions, today announced it is helping toob, a full fibre
broadband provider in the UK, deliver gigabit speeds to more than
100,000 premises by the end of 2021, with initial deployments
across the South of England.
toob recently announced its commitment to rolling out a
gigabit-capable fibre network, just as British government set its
new vision to have full-fibre broadband available to every home in
the UK. ADTRAN provided toob with full turnkey support that
included the delivery, installation and commissioning of toob’s
core, transport and access network. Leveraging the ADTRAN TA5000
gigabit services platform, toob efficiently deployed its
network—from initial concept to fully operational network—in a
matter of months.
“The UK’s digital infrastructure is uncompetitive at present
with only 8% of premises being able to access a full fibre
connection. At toob we are committed to bringing the benefits of
full fibre to all sectors of society in the communities in which we
operate,” said toob CEO Nick Parbutt. “We are executing quickly to
pass 100,000 premises by the end of 2021 on our way to passing more
than 1 million premises over the next decade. ADTRAN has matched
our ambitious pace with delivering our network into Southampton in
a matter of months, and I look forward to developing a stronger
partnership over the coming years.”
“Gigabit broadband has quickly transitioned from a luxury
service to a requirement—businesses and consumers require those
high-bandwidth connections to learn, work and play,” said ADTRAN VP
of EMEA Sales Stuart Broome. “We are committed to helping broadband
providers, like toob, build and expand their best networks in order
to bring the benefits of gigabit services to every community they
serve.”
