“This collaboration with Adtran is a key step in our mission to deliver fast, reliable broadband to new housing developments across the UK. With Adtran’s compact, energy-efficient technology, we’re enabling connectivity during the building process through our Construction Mode, allowing developers to seamlessly integrate smart infrastructure,” said Robert Buckingham, operations director at Pulse Fibre. “For residents, we provide day one connectivity, supporting work-from-home and smart home needs, while also aligning with our sustainability goals to minimize environmental impact and build a greener, more resource-efficient future.”
