Welsh indigenous broadband provider and infrastructure company Ogi has announced plans to rollout its full-fibre network across Cardiff. Speaking at Cardiff Breakfast Club, chief executive Ben Allwright said work is set to begin this month on bringing Ogi's high-speed broadband to the capital's business districts.
The rollout is Ogi's first move into a major city and part of the company's ambitious £200m phase one business plan to deploy its ultrafast broadband to 150,000 premises across south Wales by 2025, following investment from Infracapital. It is expected to complete by early 2024 and will connect the whole of Cardiff without the need for expensive leased lines for the first time.
The first wave will see symmetrical speeds of 10Gbps and higher delivered to more than 1,000 business premises in the tech, creative and digital sectors before the end of the year. Cardiff firms currently rent dedicated connections with long term contracts, however Ogi aims to offer more affordable options for business following the rollout.
