FTTH in Europe

The FTTH Council Europe makes its predictions in the FTTH/B Forecasts for Europe 2023-2028 report.

The latest FTTH/B Market Panorama report from the FTTH Council demonstrates more than 62% of households in EU39 countries have access to FTTH/B coverage.

The FTTH Awards were presented during the FTTH Conference. Categories included FTTH Operator, FTTH Individual, the Charles Kao Award and the newly introduced Champion of Diversity Award.

The new network will connect 200,000 homes in and around 30 cities by the end of 2026.

The new full fibre network, built by GoFibre is designed to connect more than 4,000 hard-to-reach homes and businesses as part of the UK government’s Project Gigabit scheme.

The new dedicated full-fibre capability will offer symmetrical speeds of 10Gb/s and higher to businesses across the Welsh capital.

The provider has leveraged XGS-PON technology from Adtran, and aims to pass half a million properties by 2025.

The move brings the infrastructure investment firm’s EIFII fund investments to more than €800m.

The financing comes from a group of six bank lenders and will help towards Netomnia’s fibre build acceleration in the UK.

The UK communications regulator says that it received a number of responses to the proposed pricing, some of which “raise issues” around competition that “require further assessment.”
