Xantaro, Europe's leading solution provider for high-performance networks and security solutions, has been selected by Wildanet to source, build and install street cabinets and exchange solutions for a gigabit-enabled Full Fibre network for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.
Wildanet is Cornwall’s largest AltNet (alternative network provider) and has partnered with Nokia to accelerate the roll-out of its new network, transforming connectivity for rural and hard-to-reach areas in the South West. Xantaro has been chosen to source, build and install all necessary communications cabinets and exchange solutions for the project, further increasing the speed and efficiency of the build. Xantaro will also be providing professional services to Wildanet, to ensure a professionally configured network with minimal disruption.
Xantaro’s fully integrated cabinet and exchange solutions will help accelerate the FTTP deployments for Wildanet by delivering to site a fully tested, pre-built and configured solution, incorporating the Nokia OLT, VIAVI centralised OTDR test head, Out of Band (OOB) Management solution, iLOQ features and more. The OOB management solution means the cabinet can be fully controlled and managed prior to any backhaul solution being deployed enabling PON ports to be managed and ODN build to progress without delay. Xantaro will further support Wildanet with the deployment of the Nokia network management solutions, providing professional services and architectural design optimisation.
Wildanet is one of more than 40 UK AltNets working with Xantaro to build high-quality networks for hard-to-reach and underserved communities. Xantaro was chosen for this project due its strong track record of delivering projects for service providers and extensive in-house technical expertise and consultancy. Xantaro has been working with Nokia for many years and is one of their leading partners in Europe.
Stephen Kingdom, Chief Technology Officer of Fixed Networks at Xantaro, commented: “Xantaro is delighted to have been selected by Wildanet to construct one of the UK's most resilient, high-capacity, and future-proof networks. Drawing on our extensive experience with altnets across the UK and our longstanding partnership with Nokia, we are pleased to be delivering cutting-edge cabinet technology and professional services to Wildanet. Together, we will accelerate the deployment of fibre and essential connectivity to underserved communities.”
