Full Fibre UK ISP Hyperoptic Launch Managed Wi-Fi Service

City-focused broadband ISP Hyperoptic, which has so far built their full fibre (FTTP/B) network to cover “more than” 1.73 million homes and 340,000 customers in parts of 64 UK towns and cities, has launched a Managed Wi-Fi service that aims to deliver “uninterrupted, high-speed internet” across larger residential developments / blocks of flats (MDUs).

The new service appears to be targeted at building owners and comes with a dedicated portal for simplifying onboarding for both residents and guests. The service also includes tailored account management, 24/7 support, and “future-proof hardware” to ensure secure, up-to-date technology. One of the advantages of this is the ability to get new residents connected as soon as they move in.

NOTE: KKR acquired a majority (75%) equity stake in Hyperoptic during 2019 (here) and the operator, which is home to c. 2,000 staff, has now increased their committed debt facility to over £1.1bn.

Jo-Anne Dunning, Business Development Director at Hyperoptic, stated: “We’re excited to launch our Managed Wi-Fi service, offering an advanced, reliable solution tailored to the needs of modern residential developments. Our Whitepaper highlights the industry’s growing readiness for tech innovations, and Hyperoptic is proud to set a new standard for high-speed connectivity.”
