Neos on track for major fibre contract

Neos Networks is set to transform connectivity on the UK’s rail network after being selected as the preferred bidder for Project Reach.

The Network Rail initiative would see Neos design and build a new fibre network track side, to carry information such as signalling for trains, trackside sensors, CCTV, and provide broadband for trains, railway depots and offices.

Colin Sempill, CEO at Neos Networks said: “This is critical for us as we continue to support UK businesses and service providers with the connectivity services essential for innovation and help deliver on the government’s plans to improve the availability of high-quality broadband across the UK.”
