Swedish fibre optic builder VXFIBER, which is currently working to deploy a new 1Gbps open access FTTP broadband ISP network across Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, has today published a new ‘Digital Masterplan‘ to assist other UK Local Authorities in their plans for rolling out similar infrastructure.

The plan essentially highlights 9 sequential stages for a local body to consider in its installation and roll-out plans for a prospective network. Furthermore it encourages local authorities to “properly invest in full fibre to the home (FTTH) Gigabit connectivity” instead of “continuing to invest millions in hybrid copper / fibre technologies, which will only be suitable for a few more years.”

VXFIBER’s Head of Business Development, Richard Watts, said: “Local Authorities are the custodians of the UK’s regional economic and social development. They have responsibility for a broad range of issues … [and] a local authority’s development plans must have a properly thought-out digital strategy to support [that].”

The announcement states that VXFIBER’s Digital Masterplan is available to download here (PDF), although at the time of writing this only appears to consist of a single page with the headings for each stage and no further details. Luckily we have been able to extract a few more details from elsewhere but there isn’t a lot of detail, although some may still find it useful.
