The next frontier for AI-ready connectivity: efficiency in deployment

On a typical morning, millions of people log in to work calls, stream lessons, or run AI-powered applications from home all relying on fiber networks. Behind this everyday convenience lies one of the biggest infrastructure transformations of our time: the expansion of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH).

About 74% of UK homes can now access full-fiber broadband services, as of January 2025. This rapid progress is the result of sustained national investments, collaborative ecosystem efforts, and a growing recognition that digital connectivity is as critical as power and water utilities.

From using generative AI tools at home to connecting smart factories and autonomous systems, optical fiber has become the silent engine that's pulling all the weight.

It’s the invisible ...
