Ogi – Wales’s home-grown full service telco has completed work on a multimillion-pound programme to connect Cardiff’s city centre economic gateway to its 10 Gigabit-capable high-capacity full fibre network.
After an extensive programme of work to connect business in the city’s Ocean Way industrial zone, the next phase of Ogi’s work focuses on the Central Square enterprise zone and surrounding area, including St Mary Street.
Connecting to the company’s ‘dark network’ traveling along the M4 corridor and across the Prince of Wales bridge, this new connection brings much needed resilience, network diversity and wholesale capacity into a zone that’s already proving an attractive base for major UK financial, legal and creative sector businesses.
Ogi’s investment in Cardiff is part of its ongoing commitment to revitalising urban centres and supporting communities with reliable, high-capacity broadband technology. This latest phase in its city centre rollout, equips the business, retail and residential zone for the digital demands of the 21st century.
This latest city centre milestone forms part of the company’s broader plans across Cardiff, bringing state-of-the-art connectivity to businesses, and visitors alike – including work to upgrade the connectivity at Cardiff’s iconic Market as part of the £6.5m restoration.
The network operator with its suite of Ogi Pro managed services is already unlocking new opportunities for local businesses, enhancing their ability to innovate and grow in an increasingly digital economy – offering unparalleled speed and stability, and supporting people to stay connected, work remotely, and access cutting-edge technology.
Commenting on the work, Chief Executive Officer, Ben Allwright, said:
“Our capital city is home to some of the UK’s leading businesses, and many are Wales’s largest home-grown organisations as well as public sector, educational institutions, cultural and historic sites and key new developments.
“These businesses are typically bandwidth hungry and tech savvy – and deserve cutting-edge, enterprise-grade services. As a leading Welsh telco, we’re working hard to support their operations, growth and productivity, enabling next-generation tech such as AI in a bid to help drive the Welsh economy forward – and make Cardiff one of the best-connected cities in the UK.”
The latest upgrade forms part of Ogi’s multimillion pound rollout across south Wales, transforming urban, suburban and rural communities with the next-generation telecoms technology they need for today and the future.
