Who Are ITS Technology Group?
ITS was originally established as wireless network provider back in 2013. Since then ITS have built physical Gigabit capable, full fibre network infrastructure from Hammersmith & Fulham in 2014, to Blackpool and Preston in 2021 equating to the delivery of over 1,000 kilometres of faster fibre from 2019 to 2021.
ITS have received significant investment from Aviva Investors in 2019 aimed at rapidly delivering gigabit capable fibre networks across UK towns and cities and the rollout is rapidly gathering pace. Having secured code powers and PIA accreditation in the same year ITS have set about establishing the Faster Britain brand and rollout across the UK.
Faster Britain is the overarching brand for the ITS network, and is marketed and national coverage partners like Amvia were selected to assist the growth of end customers on the Faster Britain footprint.
Where does Faster Britain Cover?
The Faster Britain network is focusing on the areas of the UK that are currently underserved by the existing national operators such as BT and Virgin. By doing so, towns and cities that would otherwise be waiting years to achieve full fibre status are already live and reaping the benefits of fibre Internet services. This means we will see a patchwork of British fibre networks appear in the following locations.
City Networks
Bristol
Derby
London (Greenwich, Hammersmith & Fulham, Mayfair, Camden, Islington, Enfield, Lewisham, Park Royal, Stratford)
Nottingham
Birmingham
Liverpool (LCR Connect)
Manchester (Trafford Park)
Lincoln
Metro Networks
Accrington
Blackburn
Blackpool
Burton upon Trent
Chorley
Hereford
Preston
Scunthorpe
Stockport
Tameside
Burnely
Wilmslow
How is the Faster Britain Network Built?
The Faster Britain network delivers gigabit capable fibre infrastructure using the latest XGS-Pon 10Gbps symmetrical products, allowing upgrades to be at the press of a button.
Environmentally, the network has been built and continues to be built using a impact minimized strategy, using PIA (Physical Infrastructure Access) allowing ITS to run fibre in existing fibre ducting and avoiding disruptive civils works whenever possible.
