STL, a prominent optical and digital solutions provider, has expanded its long-term collaboration with Netomnia, the UK’s second-largest alternative network provider, to support the rollout of advanced full-fibre networks across the United Kingdom.

Netomnia is deploying a 10 Gbps XGS-PON full-fibre network designed for scalability and efficiency. Alongside its affiliates, YouFibre and brsk, Netomnia serves approximately 2.8 million premises, with around 400,000 connected. With a build rate of one million premises annually, the company aims to reach three million premises by the end of 2025 and five million by the end of 2027.

With nearly two decades of expertise in the region and a robust global supply chain, STL plays a vital role in enabling Netomnia’s rapid network expansion. The multi-year partnership now includes STL providing end-to-end fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) connectivity solutions, encompassing optical fibre cables and connectivity technologies. STL’s optical fibre cables achieve an average area reduction of about 20%, enhancing duct utilization, improving blow performance, and reducing material use and environmental impact. These innovations help Netomnia accelerate deployment and lower the total cost of ownership.

“We’re building an uncompromising full-fibre network for the UK’s future needs. To deliver at speed and scale, we rely on partners who innovate with us. STL’s technology and co-development approach help us roll out a reliable, future-ready network built for whatever comes next,” said Jeremy Chelot, Group CEO of Netomnia, YouFibre, and brsk.

“Our partnership with Netomnia has been truly special, and it’s a testament to what we can achieve when we come together with a shared vision. We’re incredibly excited about the journey ahead with Netomnia. Together, we’ll continue to co-create, co-innovate, and build a future that’s connected, efficient, and transformative,” said Rahul Puri, CEO of STL’s Optical Networking Business.

The collaboration leverages STL’s advanced optical solutions to support Netomnia’s goal of delivering high-speed, reliable connectivity across the UK. By integrating cutting-edge technologies, the partnership enhances network efficiency and supports the growing demand for robust digital infrastructure, contributing to the UK’s digital economy.
