Harnessing the Power of Open Disaggregated Networking to Speed up Broadband Rollout | Feka Samakuva - Netomnia

Access to high speed networks has long been a priority for governments and enterprises alike. The UK Government has set ambitious targets to have gigabit-capable broadband coverage to 85% of the UK by 2025. In the US, $60 billion has been pledged to help bring broadband to rural regions and to “rip and replace” unsecure equipment. In Germany, the federal government has committed €12 Billion for fiber projects through its Grey Spots funding programme. So with the intent clear from governments around the world, how can service providers harness open networking to speed up deployments and cut costs? The ambitious target of 85% gigabit coverage in the UK has drawn a lot of entrants to the market. One of the companies in the UK that are helping the UK government to achieve their ambitious goal is Netomnia, who along with their ISP partner, YouFibre, has seen a lot of investment recently, raising over £400m in the last year. Our head of Sales in Northern Europe and Africa, Mark Downey, sat down with Netomnia’s Director of Networks, Feka Samakuva as part of a discussion with the Internet Service Providers Association in the UK to discuss their success in partnering with EPS Global, and how it all went from a plan drawn on a napkin to 1 million premises connected to 10gig networks. 👉 If you're looking to discover more podcasts similar to those from EPS Global, make sure to follow us for updates and recommendations 🎵Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠spotify/podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe for more content from EPS Global.
