Icotera, a leading European provider of fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) CPE solutions, has entered a new strategic partnership with The Kenton Group, a UK telecommunications solutions provider with over four decades of experience supporting network operators and service providers.
The partnership strengthens Icotera’s ongoing expansion in the UK, while giving The Kenton Group’s customers direct access to Icotera’s market-leading CPE portfolio. This includes vendor-independent fibre termination ONTs, and high-quality Wi-Fi routers and access points, as well as value-added services such as customisation and refurbishment.
“We’re delighted to partner with The Kenton Group, a company with a strong legacy of delivering innovation and value to the UK telecoms industry,” said Wesley Bowen, VP Sales, UK, Ireland at Icotera. “Their expertise in distribution and network solutions, combined with our high-quality CPE portfolio, creates a powerful proposition. Together, we can support UK service providers and network operators with the flexibility, performance, and vendor independence they need to scale their networks efficiently.”
Che Smith, Director at The Kenton Group, added: “At The Kenton Group, we pride ourselves on helping our customers reduce complexity while improving choice. Partnering with Icotera allows us to offer ONTs that free network operators from vendor lock-in, and to expand our router portfolio with both cost-effective entry models and Icotera’s high-end routers, which open exciting opportunities not only with ISPs and AltNets but also the SMB market. We see this as a key step in strengthening the value we bring to our customers.”
The partnership demonstrates a shared focus on quality, reliability and long-term growth. Partnering with The Kenton Group, Icotera is in a strong position to help ISPs, AltNets, and SMBs across the UK and Ireland unlock their full potential.
