YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Making Gigabit Roll-outs Pay Beyond Dense Urban Areas
- By early 2025, gigabit-capable broadband reached around 86% of UK premises, yet rural build costs and urban overbuild are squeezing returns for network operators.
- Demand mapping, competitor intelligence and scenario-based business cases help YCP prioritise build zones, partnerships and capital plans with clearer returns.
Closing Rural Coverage Gaps While Funding 5G Networks
- The Shared Rural Network aims for 95% geographic 4G coverage, but remote sites still require costly power, backhaul and maintenance while 5G investment continues.
- Market sizing, rollout optimisation and infrastructure-partnership strategies enable YCP to identify viable coverage expansions and improve investment efficiency.
Managing the 2027 Copper Switch-off Without Disruption
- Openreach plans to retire the analogue phone network by December 2027, requiring providers and businesses to migrate voice, alarms and critical devices safely.
- Migration roadmaps, customer segmentation and operating-model design allow YCP to help clients reduce service risk while capturing fibre-led growth opportunities.
Meeting Tougher Security Rules Across Complex Networks
- Since 2022, UK telecom providers have faced strengthened statutory security duties, while 5G, cloud and supplier dependencies continue to widen the attack surface.
- Security-gap assessments, governance design and supplier-risk reviews help YCP translate regulatory requirements into practical, resilient network operations.
