OpenNet boosts installation capacity by 30%

Additional 5,000 seasonal slots will be provided in September for the Comex Show.

In a release, OpenNet has increased its installation capacity from 2,400 to 3,100 connections per week effective this month – an increase of almost 30% against existing capacity, following the conclusion of the Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) of Singapore’s review of OpenNet’s Interconnection Offer (ICO). This new capacity is inclusive of 40 dedicated slots per day for the non-residential segment.

OpenNet will also continue to provide additional capacity on a temporary basis to accommodate spikes in demand that occur around the quarterly IT shows. An additional 5,000 seasonal slots will be added in September to prepare for the coming Comex Show.

OpenNet currently has over 170,000 subscribers with more than 15,000 new subscribers connecting to the Next Generation Nationwide Broadband Network (NGNBN) in the month of June 2012 alone. OpenNet expects fibre connections in Singapore to more than double from the January 2012 base by the end of this year.

OpenNet has also rolled out a marketing programme to Service Operators to improve uptake of fibre connections in the non-residential sector. The programme includes an effort to leverage on the resources and relationships of Service Operators with the building management of non-residential buildings to secure access and fibre penetration into non-residential premises.

OpenNet is committed to supporting the growth in demand for fibre services and will continue to work closely with the IDA and all of its customers and stakeholders to build Singapore’s NGNBN into a world-class fibre network.
