Business cloud, IT and telecoms provider Onecom, which is backed by private equity firm LDC, has today become the latest provider to sign a deal that will enable them to harness AllPoints Fibre Networks‘ (APFN) aggregated wholesale platform (aquila) of full fibre broadband networks. Customers of the ISP will thus gain access to an expanded range of high-speed connectivity services.
The deal will give Onecom Group access to APFN’s full product suite across a wide range of bandwidths and multiple networks, including Openreach, CityFibre, BTWholesale & Sky Business Wholesale delivered via APFN’s aquila wholesale platform.
It will also provide Onecom Group’s channel-led aggregator, Onecom Partners, access to the full APFN range to its partner channel through its OneHub portal – integrated directly into aquila.

Nisreen El-Kaloush, Chief Commercial Officer at APFN, said:
“We are delighted to enter this strategic agreement, bringing the speed, scale and seamlessness of the aquila wholesale platform to Onecom and Onecom Partners, empowering us to collectively grow together.
