The government has recently awarded Connexin a £58 million contract to connect ~34,300 hard-to-reach premises in rural communities of Nottinghamshire and West Lincolnshire with gigabit broadband. This is a part of Project Gigabit, the UK government’s flagship £5 billion, bringing ultrafast gigabit connectivity to remote areas https://uktenders.gov.in/nicgep/app .
STL said on 29 May that it will connect ~12,000 rural premises in hard-to-reach areas such as Kirkby in Ashfield, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Annesley and Newark on Trent with Connexin’s full fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) infrastructure https://www.londonstockexchange.com/ .
These areas will undergo a major digital upgrade with the introduction of Connexin’s full fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) broadband infrastructure. Residents will be able to benefit from speeds of up to 1Gbps. STL will support Connexin in building, operating and maintaining this gigabit broadband network.
