ADTRAN and toob Advance UK's Gigabit Future

AMSTERDAM  — ADTRAN, a provider of next-generation open networking and subscriber experience solutions, announced it is helping toob, a full fiber broadband provider in the UK, deliver gigabit speeds to more than 100,000 premises by the end of 2021, with initial deployments across the South of England.

Toob recently announced its commitment to rolling out a gigabit-capable fiber network, just as the British government set its new vision to have full-fiber broadband available to every home in the UK. ADTRAN provided toob with full turnkey support that included the delivery, installation and commissioning of toob’s core, transport and access network. Leveraging the ADTRAN TA5000 gigabit services platform, toob deployed its network—from initial concept to fully operational network—in a matter of months.

“Gigabit broadband has quickly transitioned from a luxury service to a requirement—businesses and consumers require those high-bandwidth connections to learn, work and play,” said ADTRAN VP of EMEA Sales Stuart Broome. “We are committed to helping broadband providers, like toob, build and expand their best networks in order to bring the benefits of gigabit services to every community they serve.”
