The passive infrastructure backbone for active and wireless network deployments.
Altnets supplies the fibre optic and passive infrastructure components that underpin active and wireless network rollouts, from small cell and DAS deployments to fixed wireless access and enterprise Wi-Fi backhaul. We bridge the gap between the active equipment layer and the physical network, ensuring your passive infrastructure is correctly specified, readily available, and delivered on time.
We’ll deliver whatever you need for your telecoms network – right when you need it.
Whether you are at the service provider’s central office or at the end user premises, having the right active equipment is essential.
The full range of enclosures and outlets for fibre optic installations in outdoor and indoor environments.
We have you covered no matter your interconnect application, whether it is the central office, the access node or the customer connection.
Whether it’s feeder, distribution or the last mile, we offer the full range of fibre cable for any application and installation method.
Active and wireless network deployments are highly time-sensitive. Equipment lead times, site access windows, and integration dependencies mean that passive infrastructure delays, a missed splice closure delivery, a short-supplied cable drum, can hold up an entire programme. Yet passive components are often the last thing specified and the first thing that causes a problem on site. In a sector moving towards dense urban small cell networks and rural FWA at scale, the supply chain for passive elements needs to be as dynamic as the technology it supports.
We stock and supply the passive components that active and wireless network builds depend on: microduct, blown fibre, patch assemblies, antenna mounts, and the connectorised products needed for rapid site deployment. Our team understands the integration requirements between passive and active layers, and can advise on cable routing, protection standards, and weatherproofing for both indoor and outdoor environments. With next-day delivery capability across the UK and direct manufacturer relationships, Altnets gives your network deployment teams the supply confidence to commit to programme timelines and deliver on them.
