Engineering company, Actavo has secured a further contract with SIRO, as its primary contractor for the installation of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) broadband services across Ireland.
The three-year contract commenced in May 2021 and is being delivered by Actavo's network and in-home division.
As part of the contract extension, Actavo has deployed a workforce to provide fibre-to-the-home installation services, including field engineers, civil engineering, back-office staff and sub-contractors.
As a build contractor, Actavo has rolled out FTTH services on behalf of SIRO in several towns, including Dundalk, Cavan, Mullingar, Newbridge, Naas, Kildare Town, Athy, Navan and Arklow.
Brian Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of Actavo said they are delighted to extend this contract with SIRO.
"Our team has demonstrated both efficient project management capability and flexibility to mobilise rapidly in diverse locations," he said.
John Keaney, Chief Executive Officer of SIRO said Actavo has been working with SIRO since 2015 as a key partner in the design and build of an underground fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) network in towns across Ireland.
"Actavo is also one of SIRO's partners for the delivery of nationwide customer connection and in-home activation services on behalf of the telecom retailers who are SIRO’s clients," he said.
In 2015, ESB and Vodafone formed a joint venture company, SIRO, to design and build an optical fibre network to homes in 50 towns across Ireland.
The network has been built on existing ESB overhead and underground electrical infrastructure.
