Network service provider Fastr Broadband is leveraging Adtran’s open and intelligent fibre access technology, to deliver full-fibre connectivity to customers in the historic city of York, England.
The new network enables residential subscribers and businesses to access “affordable”, high-speed internet services, said the provider. Adtran’s Mosaic CP is being utilized to streamline network management and orchestration, while its SDX 6330 software-defined optical line terminals (OLTs) ensure “efficient” service delivery and scalable network growth.
The compact, energy-efficient design of Adtran’s technology also aligns with Fastr Broadband’s mission to integrate high-speed broadband seamlessly into York’s historic landscape – conquered by the Romans, Vikings, and Normans.
“With its rich, multi-layered history, cobbled streets and inviting tea rooms, York is a city with enduring cultural significance. That’s why we chose a partner that could help us advance its digital future while preserving its heritage,” said Pete Evans, director at Fastr Broadband.
“Adtran’s team has been instrumental in helping us design and build a solution tailored to York’s unique requirements. Their role in smoothly migrating our customers to the new network has also been vital. So, whether you’re a York-based business looking to provide a more reliable connection to your customers, or want a better internet experience at home, we now have an ultra-fast network that gives you affordable access to top-tier symmetrical services.”
The SDX 6330 has a compact and modular design ideally suited for York’s dense and space-constrained urban environments. This allows for discreet deployment in areas where minimising physical footprint is paramount. Complementing this, Adtran’s service delivery gateways ensure reliable Wi-Fi coverage throughout homes and businesses.
“Many of our professional services team in the UK have strong ties to York, and a personal commitment to enhancing the city’s digital landscape,” said Stuart Broome, GM of EMEA sales at Adtran. “That’s why we’re so pleased to be helping Fastr Broadband expand the availability of advanced broadband services and enrich the options for both residents and businesses.”
Earlier this week, we reported that Adtran had opened a massive new distribution and services centre in York.
