Light Blue Fibre

Light Blue Fibre Ltd is a joint venture between the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire County Council, to make commercially available both organisations’ existing extensive duct and fibre networks.

With a new strategic partnership agreed with euNetworks, the local offering of access to over 100km of ducting and dark fibre on a wholesale basis is now connected to the rest of the UK and Europe beyond. Both the University of Cambridge and Cambridgeshire County Council have plans to further expand their duct and fibre assets, with a number of schemes completed or in design.

This private company, wholly owned by Cambridgeshire County Council and the University of Cambridge, is one of the first of its kind in the UK. It aims to attract telecoms companies, infrastructure providers and technology businesses who understand the importance of full fibre connectivity and are looking to save time and money by reducing the need for expensive and time-consuming infrastructure developments.
