To accelerate the United Kingdom's transition to full-fibre broadband, Altnets has entered into a landmark UK fibre network partnership with CommScope, a world network leader. The deal is more than a typical distribution agreement—Altnets will offer fibre-specific infrastructure solutions critical to network build-out, upgrading central offices, and enhancing broadband services nationwide.

Altnets' Role in Project Gigabit

Altnets, one of the leading fibre suppliers in the UK based in Brighton, has made a significant contribution in bridging the digital divide in the nation. With this new alliance, Altnets will leverage its long-established industry connections and market reputation to sell and distribute CommScope's new fibre optic and broadband offerings.

Paul Britnell, co-founder of Altnets, has stated:

“We are extremely proud to be backing CommScope's vision to build a stronger UK telecoms sector. Our fibre connectivity solutions enable fast, scalable FTTX networks, and this transaction reaffirms our mission to enhance the digital infrastructure of the UK.”

Facilitating National Connectivity Objectives

Under the UK Government's Project Gigabit, ISPs are competing to bring high-speed broadband to every corner of the country. This UK Fibre Network Partnership is meant to assist in speeding that work along, facilitating quicker rollout of scalable networks. Altnets will assist CommScope as well with technology marketing activity and attendance at key industry events—informing ISPs and network operators about the advantages of migrating to next-generation broadband infrastructure.

Advanced Fibre Solutions for Central Offices CommScope provides highly sophisticated solutions for central offices, GPON, XGS-PON, and high-density fibre. These assist providers in addressing the growing demand for very high-speed internet, 5G backhaul, and wireless configurations. Through Altnets' logistical and industry expertise, these technologies will be readily available to providers across the UK.

Ronald van der Kraan, VP Broadband – EMEA at CommScope, stated:

"We are pleased to partner with Altnets. They have an established track record and good reputation in full-fibre products and so are a very good partner to have. Together, we wish to enhance the UK's digital infrastructure and assist communities in better connecting."

Enabling Scalable Fibre Networks

The alliance will enable network operators to own their fibre management systems and Optical Distribution Frames (ODFs) in their entirety. They are critical for developing central office capabilities. It is extremely significant since data usage continues to rise at a highly rapid pace within homes and businesses.

Empowering the Future of UK Connections

By embracing CommScope's initiative for innovation and product superiority and marrying it to Altnets' nationwide reach in the UK, this UK Fibre Network Partnership is a revolutionary move for the UK telecom industry.

It's not just an answer to the current connectivity demand but also sets the groundwork for economic and technological expansion going forward. As digital transformation rolls across industries, alliances such as these will be vital to making the UK competitive, connected, and prepared for what's next in the broadband revolution.
