Ffeibr has extended its next-generation full fibre network beyond the Core Valley Lines rail corridor and into the centre of Cardiff, reaching as far as Cardiff Bay.

The expansion is part of efforts to futureproof connectivity across the country, providing high-capacity digital infrastructure aimed at supporting businesses, public services and the wider regional economy.

The newly completed routes deliver ultrafast upload and download speeds, alongside reliable performance for handling high volumes of data.

The network has also been designed to provide connections to multiple data centres and cloud services, as well as robust support for content creation and digital operations.

By building on the existing South Wales Metro fibre routes, the project is expected to unlock further economic opportunities across the Cardiff Capital Region.

Improved connectivity is seen as a catalyst for business growth, enabling companies to scale operations, adopt new technologies and compete more effectively.

Guy Reiffer, Managing Director at ffeibr, said: “Extending our full-fibre network into the heart of Cardiff is a major step forward for digital infrastructure in Wales.

“This is more than just connectivity – it’s about creating the foundations for innovation, economic growth, and opportunity across the region.

“Thanks to the dedication of our teams and our Welsh build-partners Gforce Telecoms, businesses and public services can now benefit from high capacity, future ready fibre built with Wales’ long-term success in mind.”
