This briefing is for Communications Providers (CPs)

This briefing is to inform CPs about the FTTP Advanced install Pilot. 

We are running a pilot for the FTTP Advanced installation journey.

The Advanced installation journey has been developed to address the complex requirements of business and public sector end customers where the existing Standard and Premium journeys don’t currently meet the end customer requirements.

Advanced installation includes the following capabilities:

• Up to 100 metres internal wiring from where Openreach network is presented into the premise​s
• More complex cabling, e.g., through multiple walls, new cable trunking
• On existing cable trays running horizontally or vertically using cable ties
• Through ceiling or floor tiles that are removable and accessible
• Using in-situ cabling (structured) to provide service
• Connect to existing in-building structured cabling e.g., in comms rooms
• ‘X’ marks the spot to indicate preference for NTE or ONT install location
•  Ability to conduct installs over 100m length with Excess Construction Charges (ECCs) applied to pay for additional work beyond the 100m distance – prevailing published ECCs apply.

The UK-wide Pilot of FTTP Advanced install will commence on 1 July 2022. The Pilot will last for six months subject to amendments in accordance with the Pilot Terms.

The FTTP Advanced installation Pilot prices will apply from 1 July 2022.

Please refer to ACCN OR781 for further details.

To participate in the Pilot CPs will be required to sign the Pilot Agreement, which includes the scope document.  CPs who wish to participate should contact Neil Bant, FTTP Product Manager  (neil.bant@openreach.co.uk)
