The Fibre Café connects connectivity providers, altnets and communication service providers. Underpinned by a unified API, common processes and supplier-agnostic order journeys, the platform provides a single and standards-based interface to the UK connectivity ecosystem.
Communication providers that use Fibre Café will have streamlined access to BT Wholesale's extensive products and services through the platform’s unified interface, without the need for any further development or infrastructure investment.
Gavin Jones, channel partners director, BT Wholesale, said, “The Fibre Cafe strengthens our ongoing relationship with Strategic Imperatives, supporting how BT Wholesale caters to different customer needs, from network operators to system integrators and channel partners, we know that one size does not fit all.
“That’s why we are pleased to interface into the Fibre Café, empowering customers who are constrained by a lack of resources whilst managing conflicting priorities, making it quicker and easier to access the UK’s largest fibre network and unlock the power of full-fibre connectivity.”
Wail Sabbagh, managing director, Strategic Imperatives, explained, “Adding BT Wholesale’s connectivity portfolio to the Fibre Café has been highly anticipated by our customers and is a major step in delivering our vision of a unified national gateway into the UK connectivity ecosystem.
“[Our] ‘build once, connect to many’ model is creating a more equal marketplace, enhancing customer choice, and creating a vibrant connectivity wholesale market.”
The Fibre Café now includes BT Wholesale’s Broadband One suite of products as well as those offered by the group’s B2B gateway.
