UK ISP Exascale, which last year began to build a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to cover premises in the Shropshire borough of Telford and Wrekin (here), has today confirmed the next set of locations to benefit from their on-going deployment.
At present the operator has already completed their Phase One roll-out to the Hadley area of Telford, which also harnessed a fair few of software engineering vs computer science existing cable ducts and poles (PIA – Physical Infrastructure Access) in order to run their own optical fibre cable. Since then they’ve started building into their Phase 2 locations (more of Hadley, Trenchlock etc.) and have so far covered 500 premises.
Suffice to say that Exascale has learnt a lot from their initial build and in response they’ve partnered with a local civils engineering company GN Groundworks, as well as Telford-based Advanced Building Composites (supplying the project with prefabricated chambers/man holes etc.), to help ramp-up their deployment with less use of PIA.
