The network has to be real before the tenants arrive.
Funded, on the clock, and your investors want to see the connectivity is real. We've done the 15-site evaluation, the diverse 100Gbps links, and the co-ordination work that gets it live.
A great site is worthless without the fibre to match.
You have the funding and the land. The build is on the clock. But core fibre to the site — the part that lets workloads move between data centres and the investment start paying back — is the bit that quietly stalls everything.
The tenant’s network team will inspect everything. You need a connectivity partner who has already thought of the question the tenant is about to ask — the diverse routes, the carrier choice, the co-ordination across everyone digging at once.
Integrated dark fibre, high-bandwidth networks and data centre infrastructure.
When you’d rather buy the whole job from one team — Consultancy, Design, Construction, Installation in a single engagement. One contract. One project manager. One number.
15 sites evaluated. 4×100Gbps delivered. 6GW of computing power.
A new start-up AI data centre company — with significant funding and land — approached us to evaluate 15 sites from a connectivity viewpoint. We provided costs and timescales to connect each site with at least two diverse links, and ranked the sites so the management could easily see which were best.
We then moved on to a detailed design phase for a short-list of sites. That gave the client what they needed to set a site budget and build a business plan.
The client ordered the connectivity. We delivered it on time and on budget. The work involved extensive co-ordination with: Openreach (physical fibre access and connectivity), a national carrier for the 4×100Gbps links they specified, and the on-site builders of the data centre infrastructure.
“We’re delighted with the expert advice and support we have received from SICOM, which has enabled us to prioritise locations for the roll-out of our planned 6GW of computing power. SICOM has worked closely with our site contractors and project management to ensure that the local infrastructure has been installed to meet the needs of the site.” — A leading AI infrastructure operator (client name confirmed at review)Read the full case study
Cost analysis and reduction
The commercial case, for the people who sign off the budget. How owning the fibre fixes your connectivity cost over the life of the build — instead of paying a rental that compounds every year.

- Ownership, lease or IRU — structured to suit the balance sheet
- How cost certainty supports retention, EBITDA and valuation
