In addition to FTTP installation, Actavo is committed to providing open and equal access to FTTP and Trunk (backbone) network construction to Lite Access. This award includes language reflecting mutual commitments to complete Wrexham and other projects that arise. Lite Access will increase the size and number of work crews in accordance with the agreed program and work requirements.
Mike Plotnikoff, CEO of Lite Access, stated, "The UK is a critical market for Lite Access and our strategic partnership with Actavo is a transformational event for our Company." Mr. Plotnikoff added, "This collaboration positions us exceptionally well to optimize the near and long-term potential of our game-changing advances in fibre connectivity which are pivotal in the UK and globally."
