Openreach to invest in CommScope for UK fibre network build
BT spin-off Openreach is investing in CommScope to provide new technology as it ramps up its build of the Full Fibre network. As part of the Openreach collaboration, approximately 30-50 manufacturing engineers will be hired by CommScope in Rhyl, North Wales. They will assemble connectorised block terminals, the fibre connection point where individual fibres connect to a premise’s main fibre cable.
announced a strategic collaboration with digital network integrator STL for the supply of optical cable solutions for a ‘Full Fibre’ broadband network. Earlier in the year, Openreach and Canadian test and monitoring specialist EXFO announced their intention to collaborate on a major initiative to accelerate full fibre deployment, and enhance the quality of build and experience for Openreach’s UK customers.
innovations and techniques which Openreach uses to deliver world class build costs, whilst a major investment in 11 new regional training centres is helping to equip and skill thousands of new engineers. As a result, Openreach believes it can build Full Fibre to up to four million rural and urban premises a year, which is around 75,000 per week, under its commercial programme. In April 2021, Openreach
These can be found on top of a telephone pole or within a chamber in the ground. CommScope configured the NOVUX platform specifically for Openreach’s build programme. Engineers will have access to NOVUX hardened terminals, designed to enhance health and safety with less time spent on the pole. Site visits can be achieved in a few hours with NOVUX. This partnership highlights just one of a range of
