“Shivani was involved from the start, she came
in to discuss the possibilities with the partners and put the case as to how a more modern line system would be of benefit. “From there, she was a constant support,
not just responding to issues, but covering all aspects of the project so it became and easy and enjoyable process for us. “Once the system was ready to go, Shivani
organised for everyone to be trained and any early issues were dealt with and because of that, we got buy-in from everyone in the team. It also meant we were more than ready for everyone working from home, with a system that delivered the speeds and connectivity we needed. “We are really happy with the outcome and
certainly hope to work with ACS again on future projects.”
As a CityFibre City Champion since
January 2020, ACS works with the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform to deliver the benefits of a full fibre gigabit network to businesses in Northampton. Since CityFibre was founded in 2011, hundreds of thousands of premises have been provided with full-fibre connections across the UK, including Northampton, and the revolutionary network is now being rolled out to other areas of Northamptonshire including Wellingborough, Rushden and Kettering, as well as some of the larger villages.

With existing networks in 60 towns and cities, including more than £40m of investment in the Northampton area, CityFibre provides wholesale connectivity to businesses and consumer service providers, local authorities and mobile operators. The organisation has network rollouts under way to provide up to eight million homes and businesses across the UK with open-access full fibre infrastructure. Full fibre connections direct to businesses provide access

to symmetrical, gigabit-capable upload and download speeds, increasing efficiency and productivity. Full fibre means there is no copper to restrict the speeds networks can support, meaning practically limitless capacity. Fully diverse and completely independent from the existing infrastructure, CityFibre’s networks provide the assurance and quality of service businesses increasingly demand and expect. James Cushing, City Manager at CityFibre, said: “The reason the full-fibre gigabit network is important is that, working with the likes of ACS, we are bringing a step change in connectivity to residents and businesses in Northampton. When we started work in the town, Northampton was quite a long way behind the national average for connectivity, speed and fibre availability. Since then, it has not only caught up, but it has overtaken the national average
to become one of the best-connected places in the country. “This makes it attractive to new businesses coming into the area,

and to those already here who are expanding. “T e full-fi bre network will be essential in the recovery from the pandemic and for businesses going forward.”
