ISP MLL Telecom is also involved.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Back in October 2018 the Government announced that Suffolk would become the first local area to be awarded <strong>\u00a35.9 million<\/strong> of public funding from the third wave of their <strong>Local Full Fibre Networks<\/strong> (LFFN) challenge fund, which they said would be used to &#8220;<em>[enable] next-generation full fibre connections to key public buildings<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2018\/10\/autumn-uk-budget-2018-confirms-200m-full-fibre-funding-boost.html\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>At the time there wasn&#8217;t much to go on, except for a vague <a href=\"https:\/\/ted.europa.eu\/udl?uri=TED:NOTICE:438302-2017:TEXT:EN:HTML&amp;tabId=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prior Information Notice<\/a> (PIN), which proposed procurement for a &#8220;<em>single pan-public sector Wide Area Network (WAN) to replace existing WANs, and to meet their collective current and future communications requirements<\/em> &#8230; <em> As well as providing connectivity between the 700+ sites on the WAN, the network needs to provide peering to a number of cloud-based services<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-england-suffolk-46433371\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BBC<\/a> recently attended a meeting of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.suffolk.gov.uk\/council-and-democracy\/suffolk-public-sector-leaders-group\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Suffolk Public Sector Leaders Group<\/a>, which revealed that MLL Telecom would supply the cloud-based services, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> build the new fibre optic network. Overall the local authority expected to match the Government&#8217;s <strong>\u00a35.9m<\/strong> investment with <strong>\u00a36m<\/strong> from their own coffers.<\/p>\n<p>The meeting revealed that the new network would take <strong>15-18 months to construct<\/strong> and will connect hundreds of public sector sites across 10 towns, including: Bury St Edmunds, Felixstowe, Haverhill, Ipswich, Lowestoft, Newmarket, Mildenhall, Stowmarket, Sudbury and Woodbridge.<\/p>\n<p>After that has completed then the new network would be expanded to deliver leased line and <strong>Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a>) style broadband connections to local businesses and possibly even private users. The meeting claimed that &#8220;<em>many<\/em>&#8221; businesses in the above towns would end up being less than 50 metres from the network (i.e. affordable to connect).<\/p>\n<p>The approach being taken is the same as we&#8217;ve seen <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/cityfibre\" target=\"_blank\">Cityfibre<\/a> adopt in lots of other cities across the UK.
