How Telexico installed a private fibre network across a Wolverhampton business park β delivering gigabit connectivity to 8 tenants at lower cost than individual leased lines.
Client
Wolverhampton Business Park Β· 8 commercial units Β· 50,000 sq ft Β· Mixed professional services, light industrial and tech tenants
The business park had 8 commercial tenants β a mix of professional services firms, a tech company, a light manufacturing unit and an accountancy practice. Most tenants were on residential-grade consumer broadband because their individual premises were considered too small to justify individual leased line quotes. Performance was poor, none had static IPs and the accountancy practice had experienced three lengthy outages in one year. The business park landlord wanted to offer premium connectivity as part of a refurbishment to attract and retain quality tenants.
Telexico surveyed the site and designed a private fibre network connecting all 8 units via an on-site distribution point. Civil works installed ducting from the external connection point through the building to each unit, with Telexico's own fibre cable pulled through. Each tenant received a dedicated 1Gbps symmetric connection with their own static IP range. The entire project β survey, civil works, cable installation and active equipment β completed in 6 weeks. The landlord pays a single wholesale charge; tenants pay Telexico directly for their individual service with all the support included.
All 8 tenants now have 1Gbps symmetric connections with static IPs, 99.95% uptime SLAs and 4-hour engineer fix commitments. Average individual tenant cost is 38% lower than equivalent leased line pricing for individual installations. Two tenants who previously couldn't justify leased lines now have enterprise-grade connectivity they previously couldn't access individually. The tech company tenant cited the improved connectivity as a deciding factor in renewing their lease. The accountancy practice has experienced zero outages since installation. The landlord uses the private fibre infrastructure as a key selling point for vacant units.
"We went from tenants complaining about connectivity to tenants mentioning it as one of the reasons they renewed. Telexico handled everything β civil works, installation, ongoing support. It's transformed what we can offer here."

Private fibre typically makes sense for business parks with 4+ tenants or buildings, where the shared infrastructure cost becomes significantly cheaper per tenant than individual leased line installations.
Various commercial models are available. Tenants can sign with Telexico directly, or the landlord can take a wholesale arrangement and include connectivity in the rent/service charge. Telexico can structure either model.
Typically 4β8 weeks for most business park installations. Larger or more complex sites may take longer. Telexico manages all aspects including civil works, wayleave and active equipment installation.
Yes β private fibre can be installed via underground ducting across roads (with appropriate permits) or aerial cable spans between buildings. Telexico's civil engineering team handles all permitting and installation.
