Openreach has unveiled plans to upgrade broadband services for another million homes and businesses over the next nine months, as it continues to pursue a deal with Ofcom which will allow it to keep investing in its network...

Openreach's so-called Gfast network builds on existing infrastructure, meaning the company does not need to install new cabling or dig up roads to connect homes, instead just changing the way broadband signals are transmitted.

Timo Brouwer, Chief Operating Officer, NetComm Wireless said “NetComm Wireless began developing FTTdp DPUs when it became clear that an alternative to fibre to the premises was needed. Openreach is always looking forward, and we are pleased to have demonstrated the latest generation of G.fast FTTdp capabilities that will support the broadband demands of the future.”

Peter Bell, Director, Network Solutions & Operations, Openreach said “Our aim is to deliver high-speeds to as many people, as quickly as possible. We’ve outlined plans to provide ultrafast speeds to 12 million premises by the end of 2020 and we want to go further. We’re working with NetComm Wireless to understand how we can deploy this technology closer to the premises to reach even more customers.”
