Cityfibre Adds Cubis to its List of UK Full Fibre Network Suppliers

Fibre optic network builder Cityfibre has today signed a new strategic supplier agreement with Cubis (CRH Group), which will see them supply the UK operator with access chambers, covers and cable management systems to aid their FTTP broadband deployments until December 2020.

The deal is intended to support Cityfibre’s on-going £2.5bn investment strategy, which aims to cover around 1 million homes across 12 UK cities and towns with Gigabit capable “full fibre” (FTTP) broadband by the end of 2021 (Phase One) and then 5 million premises across 37 cities and towns by the end of 2025 (here).

Alan Long, CCO of Cubis Systems, said: “We are delighted that CityFibre have chosen Cubis Systems’ products to play such a vital part in the network infrastructure that CityFibre is building across the UK. Over the last months we have come to understand the needs and requirements of CityFibre as its rollout gains pace and we have been very impressed with their professionalism and ambition. We look forward to a long and mutually beneficial partnership going forward.”

Cubis already supplies many other operators in the UK broadband market with similar infrastructure, such as Virgin Media.
