CityFibre have announced that their rollout of 10 Gbps XGS-PON has enabled them to increase the coverage of their Business Ethernet services to over 260,000 UK businesses, up from 80,000. The new FTTP technology that they are rolling out across the network incorporates a dedicated Business Ethernet platform from Calix. To help support businesses, they are also introducing a ‘delivery assurance guarantee’ to try to provide certainty for new installations.
“Today’s announcement is a reminder that CityFibre is more than just a broadband network. We’re building a digital infrastructure platform that serves the needs of all sectors of the market, from consumer services right through to enterprise-level connectivity.
Our partners have called for a larger footprint and that is exactly what we are giving them. Tripling our business footprint transforms their addressable market and is a catalyst for growth and shared success. We look forward to our proposition of market leading products, service and economics benefitting even more businesses in the years ahead.”
