We’re in Newcastle at the NWL Innovation Festival where our team is dividing and conquering 👊 Some of the Connexin team are inspiring and educating the younger generation with smart tech of the future as part of the Young Person’s Work Experience, while the rest are looking at the older generation and helping vulnerable people live independently for longer. It’s been a productive day (even with the weather ☔️) and there’s even more to come! Bring on the rest of the week! 🚀 #NWLInnovationFestival2024

Did you miss Connected North 2024? 💡 Get an insight into our CEO's talk on Connexin’s vision and how we’re focusing on the purpose and potential of our infrastructure in TelcoTitans round-up below ⬇️ #ConnectedNorth2024 #ConnectedNorth
🌟 Beyond Spreadsheets: Redefining the UK’s ‘Not-Altnet’ Sector’ For Furqan Alamgir, CEO and founder of #Yorkshire-based fibre network builder Connexin, the focus in the altnet sector should shift from ‘spreadsheets, homes passed, and take-up rates’ to purpose and potential. He believes even the term ‘altnet’ lacks foresight and ambition. 📣 Speaking recently at #ConnectedNorth, Furqan emphasised that shaping a sustainable service provider future requires a distinctive value-add proposition that understands customer needs, whether in the consumer sector or in the under‑served smaller business market. 🔗 Working closely with communications platform innovator Calix, Connexin has championed a ‘value-add tops megabits’ strategy that has led it to successfully launching high‑ARPU, low‑churn services that build lasting relationships with end‑users that start, rather than end, with installation of a router. 🎯 Read more on the mission, including Calix International VP Eoin Heaney’s take (also from #Manchester) on the need for a sector reset, and the importance of operators becoming “experience providers”: https://lnkd.in/eXs89N2X #Connexin #Calix #TelcoTitans #Telecoms #UK #Altnet #Network #Strategy #Innovation #Automation #Fibre #IoT
