PXC has partnered with independent broadband network operator Trooli to offer reliable full-fibre broadband to rural areas of the UK.
The partnership will strengthen PXC’s position as an alternative network aggregator, and for Trooli joining PXC’s altnet community will provide FTTP access to more than 410,000 homes and businesses across its full-fibre broadband infrastructure.
Trooli’s network footprint predominantly supplies underserved rural and semi-rural regions of England including the South West, South East and East Anglia and three counties in Scotland. The new partnership will enable PXC to offer full-fibre supply into these areas, complementing its existing network and challenging market incumbents.
It is also a milestone for Trooli, presenting substantial opportunities to attract more providers to its network. A range of strategic partners will have access to the Trooli footprint, delivering important business growth.
Andy Conibere, CEO at Trooli, said, “This partnership is an incredible opportunity for us, and follows months of rigorous due diligence. We are dedicated to the innovation required to building our network in areas of the UK that will benefit from it the most and have a team with considerable experience of delivering excellent quality wholesale partnerships. By partnering with a wholesale provider of PXC’s scale, we can provide digital access and greater consumer choice for more communities that would otherwise be left behind.”
PXC’s CEO, James Smith, said, “Trooli plays a vital part in our altnet aggregation strategy. With its focus on the rural areas of the South East and elsewhere, it will enable us to offer reliable fibre broadband to even more of the UK, providing savings in areas previously overlooked. We’re really excited to join forces with Trooli in delivering next generation connectivity to new regions.”
PXC aims to launch on Trooli’s network during Q2 this year, subject to contract.
