July Round-Up: Connected Buildings, Upgrades & Growing Clients

July has been another incredibly busy month for the team, with projects delivered across the UK, new buildings going live and more organisations preparing for the UK’s PSTN Switch Off.

Here’s what we’ve been up to…

🏢 Supporting growing retail & charity organisations

We’ve continued working alongside several of our long-standing retail and charity customers as they expand their estates, providing everything from full fibre broadband to dedicated leased lines to ensure every new location is connected from day one.

Reliable connectivity shouldn’t be something businesses have to think about when opening a new site – it should already be there.

🚉 Improving connectivity at a major train station

This month also saw us on-site at a train station where we’re upgrading the existing leased line infrastructure to support both CCTV and public guest Wi-Fi.

The project not only strengthens the connectivity required for critical security systems but also enhances the visitor experience by delivering reliable Wi-Fi throughout designated operating hours.

☎️ Helping businesses prepare for the PSTN Switch Off

With the January 2027 deadline fast approaching, we’ve continued supporting organisations as they transition away from legacy BT services.

This month, one of the UK’s largest landlords entrusted Fuse Telecom with the management of over 150 legacy BT lines across its property portfolio.

Rather than simply replacing every line, we’re taking a consultative approach by:

• Identifying the purpose of every existing line.
• Upgrading services where they’re still required, whether that’s digital voice, SOGEA, fibre or dedicated leased line connectivity.
• Migrating legacy lift lines to modern solutions.
• Reviewing existing handsets to ensure they’re compatible with digital services.
• Cancelling any redundant lines, helping reduce unnecessary ongoing costs.

For us, the PSTN Switch Off isn’t just about replacing ageing technology – it’s an opportunity to help organisations simplify their connectivity, remove legacy services they no longer need and future-proof their estates with the right solution for every site.

🏗️ Five Connected Buildings officially went live

July marked a huge milestone as Northumberland House, Baltic Works and Gosforth Central all reached key stages in their connectivity transformation.

At Northumberland House, tenants can now move into offices with enterprise-grade leased line connectivity already in place, replacing ageing ADSL services and dramatically reducing the time it takes to get online.

Meanwhile, Baltic Works has undergone an incredible transformation, with our managed connectivity supporting everything from the building’s operational infrastructure to guest Wi-Fi throughout communal areas, breakout spaces and even the on-site gym – meaning tenants can enjoy a seamless connected experience wherever they are in the building.

We’ve also completed a major infrastructure upgrade at Gosforth Central. Following the centre’s recent rebrand into a vibrant destination for independent retailers, local businesses and the wider community, we’ve upgraded the existing managed connectivity we’ve supported for several years onto a dedicated leased line. The enhanced infrastructure now delivers faster, more resilient connectivity for guest Wi-Fi, building management systems and the retailers operating throughout the centre, helping ensure visitors and businesses benefit from a reliable digital experience.

These projects are another reminder that modern buildings rely on more than great design and parking – they rely on the right connectivity to keep everything running seamlessly.

🏙️ A landmark London project completed

We’re proud to have delivered a new leased line into one of London’s most recognisable public spaces following its recent transformation.

The connectivity now supports the vendors operating within the destination while also providing the resilient infrastructure required for the site’s CCTV systems.

🤝 10 new businesses connected on Day One

Across our Connected Buildings portfolio, we’ve welcomed 10 new businesses who moved into their premises already connected to Fuse Telecom’s managed infrastructure.

No waiting weeks for installations.
No temporary solutions.
Simply move in and get to work.

Just as importantly, our team has been on-site to welcome many of these new occupiers in person, ensuring every installation and move-in runs as smoothly as possible. From the initial handover through to answering questions on-site, we’re there to make sure businesses can hit the ground running from day one.

Here’s some of the team out on site this month, helping make those seamless move-ins happen:

📑 More infrastructure secured for the future

This month we’ve:

• Signed 3 new wayleave agreements.
• Introduced new connectivity products to enhance performance and speeds for our customers.
• Completed 15 site visits for buildings looking to modernise their connectivity and building infrastructure.

As more landlords and property owners recognise the value of managed connectivity, we’re excited to continue helping transform buildings across the UK.

Here’s to another busy month ahead!
