Leuven (Belgium), October 30th, 2024 – Inmanta and Freedom Fibre, one of the leading full-fiber providers in the United Kingdom, have signed a multi-year agreement to automate their FTTH services using Inmanta's intent-based service orchestrator.
Freedom Fibre, a leading altnet in the UK, has selected Inmanta Connect to efficiently scale its network operations, accelerate service provisioning, and deliver best-in-class experience to its customers.
David Hough, Network Operations Director at Freedom Fibre, commented “As the market undergoes significant consolidation, we strongly believe that service orchestration is strategic to meet the growing demands of our customers and stay ahead in the competitive landscape of broadband services. The flexible and vendor-agnostic solution by Inmanta is the right match for our heterogeneous and evolving network.”
“We are thrilled to provide Freedom Fibre with an efficient and cutting-edge solution,” said Stefan Walraven, CEO of Inmanta. “This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies as they work together to drive innovation in the UK altnet market. Our customers truly value that Inmanta empowers them to reap the benefits of automation within months thanks to our intent-based and vendor-agnostic orchestrator."
Inmanta Connect is a turnkey solution for the orchestration of fixed-line connectivity services, such as FTTx. Driven by the increased demand for broadband, investments in fiber access networks have skyrocketed but also resulted in increasing complexity because of multi-vendor and even multi-technology (e.g. PON, HFC and Ethernet) environments. Inmanta Connect has been specifically designed to address these challenges.
