The village of Deddington, near Oxford in the UK, is having its local telephone exchange closed as part of an industry-wide pilot that will see British Telecom, and other communications providers on the Openreach network, switch their customers over from copper to fibre.
Fibre networks require less equipment, are more efficient and can connect more customers from fewer exchanges. Openreach plans to exit three pilot exchanges by March 2025 - including Deddington - with a further 100 by December 2030, and the majority of the remaining 4,500 exchanges by the early 2030s.
Openreach and Corning have been helping the residents of Deddington get set for the transition, and that means making sure every premise is connected with fibre and no longer reliant on the outgoing copper network. Watch this video and see how Corning’s 4 fibre armoured cable helped to get the last premise fibre ready!
