Big news from Altnets: we’re officially in the data centre game
Following our success in the FTTX industry, we are now moving into the data centre market. Offering our clients the same level of speed, dependability, and service they’ve come to rely on. As we broaden our focus to meet the growing demands of the UK’s digital infrastructure, this step represents a new phase for Altnets. It’s the beginning of a bigger, bolder chapter where we grow beyond telecoms to power the UK’s wider connectivity future.
Why Now?
The timing couldn’t be more important. The UK data centre market is undergoing significant expansion, with nearly 100 new construction projects planned and the number of facilities expected to rise by nearly a fifth. The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud workloads, both of which demand huge processing power, is driving this explosive growth.
But growth brings pressure. Uptime must be guaranteed, ESG goals are non-negotiable, and traditional supply chains are strained by long lead times. The need for dependable, agile and efficient supply partners has never been greater.
A Return to Our Roots
This isn’t uncharted territory. Data centre deployment has always been part of Altnets’ DNA. What’s new for 2025 is scale: we’re now bringing the product portfolio, logistics, and expertise that built our reputation in telecoms directly into the data centre market. Same DNA, speed, reliability, and responsiveness, applied where it’s needed most.
What Makes Altnets Different
We’re entering the market as a challenger, offering a faster and more flexible alternative to outdated models that slow projects down.
- Delivery over delay. No more waiting 16 weeks for critical infrastructure. Our UK stockholding and agile delivery model keep projects on track.
- Integration over complexity. From containment and racks to cabling and power systems, we provide solutions designed to work together and delivered as kitted packages.
- Real sustainability, not box-ticking. We help data centres cut carbon, boost efficiency, and track progress with credibility, backed by local sourcing, recyclable packaging, and smarter energy monitoring.
- Choice over lock-in. Projects vary. Our solutions do too. We offer real choice, optimised for each build instead of locking you into one catalogue
Who We’re Here For
- Data centre managers and infrastructure leads who require guaranteed uptime, not just promised.
- Procurement teams looking for simplicity, leverage, and fewer supplier headaches.
- Sustainability officers under pressure to hit tough ESG targets.
- Integrators and project managers who can’t afford delays, mismatched specs, or missed deadlines.
