en.Wedoany.com Reported - Xantaro's intelligent street cabinet solution will be used in GoFibre's fiber broadband deployment in Scotland, as part of the UK government's "Project Gigabit" program, which has received approximately £130 million in funding. Under two contracts within this project, GoFibre is deploying a full-fiber network for around 76,000 premises in Scotland, with one contract covering the Scottish Borders/East Lothian and the other covering the Northeast. Work in both areas will continue until 2026, and the new contracts will double the size of GoFibre's existing network.
The core of the solution is the intelligent street cabinet, designed to use heat exchangers instead of external air for cooling, eliminating moisture and dust while minimizing noise pollution and reducing maintenance needs. These cabinets are equipped with Nokia optical line terminals to enable high-speed fiber connections, featuring advanced traffic management and network scalability. The cabinets also integrate power systems and environmental monitoring functions to protect infrastructure and ensure high availability.
Marcus Cuthbert, Managing Director of Xantaro UK, stated that rapidly deploying fiber networks on a large scale in the current market environment requires intelligent infrastructure and partners. The company has been collaborating with GoFibre since 2022, and the alternative network operator market has undergone significant changes, with operational efficiency and maximizing investment value becoming more prominent focuses. Being selected for this project demonstrates that its model directly addresses these needs.
Ken Topping, Chief Technology and Information Officer of GoFibre, added that the quality and reliability of the infrastructure deployed are crucial to successfully delivering on the "Project Gigabit" commitment in Scotland. After years of cooperation with Xantaro and securing new contracts, this company meets its scaling needs. The commercial competitiveness of the solution is key, and the integrated solution and all-in-one cabinet eliminate major operational challenges. Roadside cabinets now have self-cleaning and self-regulating capabilities, representing an advancement in technology application compared to the past when they were only used to protect cables and connectors from weather conditions.
