Strategic operations partner Actavo will connect 7,000 premises to full fibre in Buckingham after being awarded its first build contract with Gigaclear.

This is part of the overall five-year contract that Actavo secured with Gigaclear in 2021 to become the primary provider of network builds across the south central region of England.

Head of Telecoms UK Mo Saleh said: "The contract will see Actavo Network & In-Home Division create a workforce of over 100 across its supply chain, including Network Designers, Engineers and Management, to provide a full fibre network build across residential and commercial properties."

In December 2021, the team completed a turnkey Survey and Design on a hybrid physical infrastructure access (PIA) solution in Buckingham, including cabinet deployment. The first premises will be ready for service in March 2022, and full completion scheduled for early 2023.
