M Group has acquired Telent, in a move that will expand the company’s reach into adjacent markets and enhance its ability to deliver integrated solutions across the telecom, transport, water, and energy sectors.

Barclay Communications and BT Wholesale are collaborating on a £6m initiative to connect 50,000 premises to FTTP.
The ‘Free Ultra-Fast Fibre’ initiative means businesses in Northern Ireland who have access to FTTP technology (around 91% of establishments), can convert to it at no extra cost.
This comes following research from Barclay’s showing that only 20% of eligible businesses are aware of and utilising FTTP.
Participants will receive complimentary installation, FTTP delivery, a new line/ONT box, and a service upgrade.
The pair hopes to connect 50,000 businesses by the end of 2024.
John Roulston, Barclay Communications' Sales Director, said: "Our goal is to simplify the process for our customers, as we understand that complexity often deters them.”
Britt Megahey, Founder of Barclay Communications, added: “We aim to empower businesses, bridge the digital divide and drive economic growth in the region.”
