What is Open Access Network Management
An Open Access Network (OAN) is a business and operational model where physical telecommunications infrastructure (such as underground ducts, dark fibre, chambers, or wireless masts) is separated from the retail services delivered over it.
Instead of a single telecom operator building a proprietary network for its exclusive use, the underlying physical network is owned or managed by an independent entity such as a municipality, utility, or neutral host and leased to multiple competing service providers on fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms.
Why Adopt an Open Access Management Model?
Turn Passive Assets into Revenue
Commercialise dark ducts, sub-ducts, and street furniture without becoming a retail telecoms provider.
Attract Private Investment
Lower barrier to entry for commercial broadband and 5G operators by providing transparent, shared duct access.
Regulatory & Statutory Alignment
Fully aligned with the EU Gigabit Infrastructure Act, UK Project Gigabit standards, and US open-access municipal broadband initiatives (such as BEAD-supported frameworks).
Eliminate Network Degradation
Prevent chaotic cabling, overcrowded manholes, and accidental network cut-offs by enforcing strict engineering standards.
