Hyperoptic, a leading full fibre broadband provider, has selected advanced network testing technology from EXFO, the communications industry’s test, monitoring and analytics experts, to support its ambitious expansion plan across the United Kingdom.
Hyperoptic is a nationwide internet service provider (ISP) that installs and maintains its own dedicated fibre optic network. It services multi-dwelling units through to single houses across over 40 UK towns and cities, and it is expanding its footprint via its partnerships with over 250 developers and 50 councils.
Deployments of this scale require an approach that is focused on both a fast and high-quality rollout: a “first-time-right” build is essential for foundational network infrastructure. This approach also mitigates a major challenge to bottom lines in the form of costly return visits to fix connection problems—these additional “truck rolls” more than doubles the testing costs.
With its cloud-based Nova Fiber solution, EXFO’s technology will not only equip Hyperoptic to build their network right the first time, it will also allow the service provider’s teams to detect and fix common issues at a single point of intervention in the network, with just one truck roll.
