Vodafone UK Does Deal to Harness MS3 Fibre Optic Network in Hull

Mobile operator Vodafone has signed a 10-year deal to harness MS3’s new fibre optic infrastructure in Hull (East Yorkshire, England), which will help to feed their network with capacity and support the introduction of new business services.

A few years back MS3 deployed a 33km long fibre optic network across the region for £4.5 million and they’re also working to expand this out to the rest of Hull, which will reach many more businesses (covering around 200km). Since then the company has signed up a number of major partners, including most recently Cityfibre (here).

Tony Hales, MS3 Managing Director, said (Hull Daily Mail):

“We are delighted to have secured this deal with Vodafone. We have been working very hard to establish ourselves and these sort of partnerships are key to our business continuing to thrive and grow further. Vodafone have some exciting plans and ideas and we’re looking forward to being a major part of those.”
