Boldyn Networks has celebrated its one-year anniversary as a new brand.
During its inaugural year, Boldyn has acquired Edzcom, Cellnex's private networks business unit in Europe and Apogee Telecom in the US.
Igor Leprince, group CEO of Boldyn Networks, said, "We have a compelling vision for an interconnected future. Our Boldyn Networks name represents our drive to be innovative, bold, and dynamic. I'm thrilled to say that after a year, we're achieving exactly that—partnering with our customers to deliver cutting-edge connectivity solutions that address tomorrow's most significant challenges.
"Our neutral host approach will help move communities forward and make inclusive network access the status quo. I'm looking forward to the next 12 months as we continue to deliver the advanced shared network infrastructure that will shape a smart, inclusive, and sustainable future."
He added, "During our first year we picked up multiple industry awards for our business acquisitions and integration. We have expanded even further, with our growth into private networks in Europe and US higher education. I'm extremely proud of the work our team does – from enabling interconnected transport to connecting venues and creating smart cities across the world."
Sarah Roberts, group chief marketing officer of Boldyn Networks, said, "I'm especially proud of our people who rallied behind our bold new brand. Their creative thinking, hard work, and dedication are why we have established ourselves among the biggest neutral host providers in the world.
"Boldyn's impact isn't measured in deployments or sites, it's engraved in human stories. From building Rome’s digital future to connecting every corner of New York and enabling military families or students in large smart campuses with powerful networks. This is what we celebrate today and what our brand represents. Boldyn Networks doesn't just talk about the future. It exists to help build it. By moving the industry forward through shared infrastructure and deep collaboration."
Boldyn is building a new digital infrastructure for London in partnership with Transport for London and the MNOs Three, EE, Vodafone and Virgin Media O2. More than 40 underground stations have high-speed mobile coverage to date, serving millions of passengers every day.
Above ground, together with Three and EE, Boldyn has been deploying small cells to increase mobile network capacity in London's busiest high streets. And across a number of London’s boroughs, Boldyn has brought high-speed fibre connectivity to public buildings and assets such as CCTV.
In Sunderland, Boldyn is partnering with the City Council, to create a smart city, using OpenRAN to enhance the fan experience at key live sports and e-sports venues across the city through the Sunderland Open Network Ecosystem project. In the North Sea, the company's second partnership with Ørsted will result in a high-speed mobile network built at the Hornsea 3 offshore wind farm, providing power to more than 3.3 million UK homes. And in Ireland, Boldyn continues to provide manufacturing, technology, and public sector organisations with the enhanced 4G and 5G mobile connectivity.
