Small businesses and co-working spaces in Cardiff will be amongst the first premises to be connected to Ogi’s full fibre network in the city, which was announced in March.
This will be available first in the East Moors district and eventually rollout across Cardiff Bay, Dumballs Road and the city’s new Capital Quarter in Ogi’s first phase plans for the capital.
Two of the city’s business hubs, The Maltings and Workbench, are ready to migrate to the network, giving over 100 independent businesses access to the network.
This multimillion-pound privately funded investment comes off the back of Ogi’s rollout in commuter towns like Blackwood, Dinas Powys, Maesteg and Pontypool.
CEO Ben Allwright said: “Fast and dependable connectivity has never been more important, and with the big data age arriving at our doorstep, we’re ready to equip businesses with the tools they need to not only survive but thrive."
The first phase rollout is expected to be completed by early 2024, with services switched on in stages across the city.
This is part of Ogi’s initial phase to bring full fibre connectivity to 150,000 premises across south Wales.
