This award marks an important milestone for our business and reinforces Connect44's position as a trusted delivery partner for large-scale telecommunications infrastructure projects across the UK.

Delivering End-to-End Network Solutions

Working alongside our valued partners—CEP, TEC, TPS, and GUS—Connect44 will provide a comprehensive, end-to-end service offering to support VMO2's ambitious network modernisation programme.

Together, the partnership will deliver:

• Full-scale acquisition

• Seamless integration
• End-to-end warehousing and logistics

By combining our expertise and capabilities, we are well positioned to help VMO2 expand, modernise, and future-proof its network infrastructure while maintaining the highest standards of quality, safety, and operational excellence.

Deep Dive at the VMO2 RAN World Showcase

Following the contract award, members of the Connect44 team, together with colleagues from TEC and TPS, visited the VMO2 RAN World Showcase and Training Centre for an in-depth technical and operational programme.

The visit provided valuable insight into the technologies and methodologies that will support the successful delivery of the programme. Throughout the day, the team participated in:

• Next-generation product training
• Advanced network design methodologies
• Commercial framework sessions
• Hands-on demonstrations of Ericsson and Nokia equipment

This collaborative learning experience strengthened our understanding of the programme and reinforced the close partnership between all organisations involved.

Looking Ahead

Winning this award represents an exciting opportunity for Connect44 to contribute to one of the UK's most significant telecommunications infrastructure programmes. We are proud to be supporting VMO2 in delivering the next generation of network capabilities and look forward to working closely with all partners throughout the programme.

Thank You

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the VMO2 team—Mark Richards, Mark Abbott, Tom Torr, and Oliver Youngman—for their warm welcome, insightful presentations, and the opportunity to visit the RAN World Showcase and Training Centre.

The knowledge shared during the visit will play an important role as we begin delivery of the programme, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration in the months and years ahead.
