3 September, London – AllPoints Fibre Networks (APFN) has opened its own full fibre network to wholesale partners through its Aquila platform, giving providers access to more than 370,000 consumer FTTP premises with symmetrical connectivity.
The launch complements the national coverage already available across Openreach, CityFibre, BT Wholesale and Sky Business Wholesale through Aquila. It reflects APFN’s focus on areas that have previously been underserved by full fibre, including Buckinghamshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex and Wiltshire.
Available exclusively through Aquila,the network offers symmetrical speeds alongside integrated ordering, automated provisioning and full in-life service management. For partners already using Aquila, APFN’s own network appears alongside existing wholesale options through the same ordering journey, with no additional integrations or contracts required.
Nisreen El-Kaloush, Chief Commercial Officer AllPoints Fibre Networks, said: “Our network was built for getting full fibre out to more homes, through partners who know how to sell it. Bringing it onto Aquila means we can do that at speed, without adding any complexity for the partners already using the platform. It’s available through the same platform, the same ordering journey, and the same commercial model as everything else on Aquila. Simplicity will always be our focus.”
Olilo and Onestream are some of the first partners to bring services to market across APFN’s network.
Steve Evans, Managing Director, Onestream, said: “With APFN’s network, we’ve seen first-hand what symmetrical connectivity in previously underserved areas can do for our customers. It’s been a strong partnership to be part of, and having this access exclusively through Aquila means we can respond to demand quickly, without the delays of bringing on a new network partner.”
Liam Mulryan, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Olilo, added: “Being invited to launch services on the APFN footprint represents an important milestone for Olilo. It reflects the work undertaken by both organisations to increase retail availability across the network. Early access to APFN’s Aquila Pulse trial has also changed how we support our customers, giving real-time visibility into network status. As the UK’s fibre market continues to evolve, collaboration between network operators and independent providers has an important role to play in improving consumer choice and making existing fibre infrastructure more accessible.”
Enhanced visibility for partners: Aquila Pulse
Alongside the network launch, APFN has opened early access to Aquila Pulse, a new visibility tool for partners on the platform. Pulse currently offers a network operations map and a service status view, giving partners a self-service way to check on network and service status without needing to contact APFN directly.
