Northumberland County Council has awarded Commsworld a £22m contract to transform the county’s digital infrastructure over the next 20 years.
The deal involves replacing its ageing Wide Area Network with full-fibre infrastructure, to help provide businesses and communities across the county with access to faster, more reliable connectivity.
It will see Commsworld deliver 262km of new fibre infrastructure to nearly 150 council sites. It will also enable access to more than 120,000 residential and business properties across the county to Fibre To The Premises.
