Broadband ISP and mobile operator Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2) has signed an extended contract with civil engineering firm Avonline Networks (M Group Services), which will see the firm’s engineers continue their relationship with Virgin by helping to extend their Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) infrastructure to 23 million UK premises by 2028.<\/p>\n

In case anybody has forgotten, Virgin Media<\/a> is currently working to upgrade their existing Hybrid Fibre Coax<\/strong> (HFC) network areas to FTTP<\/a> (XGS-PON) by 2028 (Project Mustang<\/strong><\/a>) – reflecting about 14.3m premises. At the same time, they also intend to deploy full fibre broadband to an additional 7 million UK premises – via a new Joint Venture (JV) in greenfield areas – by 2027 (here<\/a> and here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

However, VMO2 won’t be doing all of this work themselves, and they’ve long employed third-party contractors, such as Avonline Networks<\/strong>, to help with their network expansions. Suffice to say, that relationship looks set to continue for Avonline after a new contract extension was agreed.<\/p>\n

Avonline will thus be delivering all consumer pre-enablement, business connections, civils and Emergency Restoration Services (ERS) for the South Coast and the South of London telecom franchises for the next five years (i.e. until around the end of 2027). No doubt different contractors will be called in to help in other parts of the UK.<\/p>\n

Richard Hale, Avonline MD, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This is a fantastic opportunity for Avonline Networks. We are proud to be partner of choice for Virgin Media<\/a> O2<\/a>, supporting the build and maintenance of their Hybrid Fibre Coax (HFC) and Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network, helping them to deliver their ambition of 23 million premises by the end of 2028.<\/p>\n

In line with our existing performance, we are completing around 3,500 customer connections each month within our expanded footprint. We are also expanding our workforce and further developing our people, enhancing our capability and delivery.<\/p>\n

Being part of M Group Services has supported our expansion and established the business as a leading specialist provider in telecom FTTP network design, build, installation and maintenance.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We should point out that Avonline also works with other UK broadband operators, such as Openreach<\/a>, Ogi<\/a> and more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
