Public transport operator First Bus has announced a new EV charging partnership with the UK’s largest broadband network provider, Openreach.
Openreach now brings full-fibre broadband to more than seven million homes and businesses across the UK, including more than two million in what it says is the hardest-to-reach “final third” of the country.
Prysmian Group and Openreach have extended their partnership, with a new three-year contract. This is as Openreach follows an extended investment commitment by its parent, BT Group
BT pledged today to increase its fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) target from 20 million to 25 million by December 2026. In the last year Openreach passed a record 2m premises with FTTP and now believes that it has the capability to reach around 4m premises a year.
Openreach has selected ADTRAN’s SDX Series of OLTs and Mosaic Cloud Platform to help it achieve its ambition of making gigabit and multi-gigabit services available to 20 million homes by the mid-to-late 2020s with its Full Fibre network.
