The facility is designed to meet the UK’s expanding fiber broadband network demands.

On September 17, Adtran announced the opening of Sovereign House, a new 20,000-square-foot distribution center in York, UK.

The company reports that enhanced logistic capabilities will allow the new center to deliver essential network components and ensure high levels of service quality for its customer base. The facility will support services like testing, production, and hardware and software customization.

“For over 20 years, York has been central to our UK strategy, serving as a vital hub that allows us to efficiently support service providers across the country,” said Bucher in a press release. “This new facility builds on that strong foundation, enabling faster, more cost-effective, and more sustainable deployments to ensure high-speed broadband reaches both major cities and remote rural areas across the UK. From our York campus, we’re providing service providers of all sizes with the tools they need to build and expand fiber infrastructure. Through our comprehensive portfolio of networking equipment, from optical transport and Carrier Ethernet to residential solutions, we’re ensuring they can deliver high-speed, reliable connectivity from the core and through the door.”
