Quickline, a UK-based service provider, has deployed Adtran’s Mosaic CP and software-defined access hardware to bring full-fiber connectivity to rural areas in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. The rollout aims to close the digital divide in underserved communities, providing residents and local businesses with fast and reliable broadband. The new infrastructure will enable various services, such as remote work, online education, and telemedicine, while improving access to digital tools for rural populations.

The platform seamlessly integrates with Quickline’s existing fixed wireless access infrastructure, making it efficient and cost-effective to deliver gigabit speeds to rural homes and businesses. The solution is expected to enhance the quality of life in these areas, driving economic growth and increasing digital opportunities.
