A recent survey from bOnline has shown that many SMEs are unsure about the availability of altnet in their area, with confusion over the UK’s broadband roll-out strategy.
Netomnia is working with Novo Technologies to roll out a £6m full fibre network in Irvine, North Ayrshire.
The rollout will pass 20,000 premises and marks Netomnia’s fourth deployment location in Scotland. Wholesale connectivity will be available to ISPs upon completion.
CEO Jeremy Chelot said: “Our latest investment will bring benefits to the area, whilst causing minimum disruption by using existing infrastructure.”
Dr. Philippa Whitford, MP of Central Ayrshire, added: “I am confident that our residents and local businesses will benefit from fibre, which will further support our digital infrastructure and enable economic growth and employment opportunities in the area.”
