Alternative service providers have designed their businesses on full fiber deployments in regions with inadequate broadband availability. Nokia is supporting these service providers to increase broadband speed and fiber penetration in the U.K.

Xantaro will leverage Nokia’s IP and Optical solutions to deliver Wi-Fi 6 and mesh Wi-Fi coverage inside buildings. Nokia is working with Xantaro to support these service providers with its fiber technology, which allows them to choose the most suitable deployment model in different use cases.
