Gigaclear Brings Fiber Broadband to Rural Britain
The English countryside is picturesque, but it’s a notoriously difficult place to get decent Internet. That is changing. Gigaclear is bringing fiber broadband to rural areas, so residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: country living and speedy digital connectivity.
Business Challenge
Gigaclear’s network delivers ultrafast fiber to more than 200 rural communities across the South West, the Midlands, and South East of England. It serves over 100,000 homes and businesses. Gigaclear relies on Juniper Networks MX Series Universal Routing Platform from its network core to the broadband edge to deliver a superior subscriber experience and simplify operations.
