For information

This briefing is for all Communications Providers (CPs).

This briefing is to notify CPs of the full launch of SOGEA and SOGfast Advanced managed install and associated price. 

We are launching the SOGEA and SOGfast Advanced managed install journey on 1 July 2023 following its successful pilot.

The Advanced installation journey has been developed to address the complex requirements of business and public sector end customers that the existing Standard and Premium journeys are not specifically designed to deliver.

Advanced installation includes a variety of capabilities including:

·       Up to 100m wiring from where Openreach network is presented to the premise.

·       More complex cabling

  •  Through multiple walls
  • On existing cable trays running horizontally or vertically using cable ties (may include through multiple floors)
  • Through ceiling or floor tiles that are removable and accessible

·       Connect to existing in-building structured cabling e.g. in comms rooms

·       X-Marks the spot to indicate preference for NTE install location

·       What3Words to indicate preference for NTE location, and

·       Unattended install - Speed test results in KCI 3 to confirm install.

Further details and explanations of the Advanced managed install are included in an updated SOGEA Product Description.

This briefing supports ACCN OR856.
