Partnerships essential to success All this growth wouldn ’ t be possible , Perry explains , without having a clear strategy set down from Community Fibre ’ s board , having great people in position , and striking real , lasting partnerships with build partners . These long-lasting relationships , he adds , have enabled Community Fibre to scale and grow .
“ We ’ ve got a number of build partners that we work with to design our network in the first place , and then to build our core distribution , and , also , then to serve our multi-dwelling unit ( MDU ) and single dwelling unit ( SDU ) premises .”
Among some of Community Fibre ’ s build partners are Niocomm , KMCO and FibreWorks , which the organisation started working with as far back as 2019 .
