Smarter Open Access for ISP's
ISP's enter new fiber markets without any building or overbuilding.
SOA gives ISP's wholesale access to shared citywide fiber infrastructure, allowing ISP's to focus on customer acquisition, service quality and retail growth rather than funding and managing the full physical build.
The ISP Model
Building into a new city is expensive!
It's slow and operationally heavy.
SOA gives ISPs wholesale access to shared citywide fibre infrastructure, allowing them to focus on customer acquisition,
service quality and retail growth rather than funding and managing the full physical build.
Faster entry to new markets
Launch services in new city markets without waiting years to fund, permit, design and build your own physical fibre network.
No construction exposure
Avoid the civil engineering burden, street works, permitting risk, contractor management and build complexity of deploying citywide fibre yourself.
Lower capital burden
Expand into attractive markets without committing the full capex required to own, build and maintain the underlying infrastructure.
Ability to compete on service, pricing and bundles
Focus capital and energy on customer acquisition, product design, pricing, support and service quality - where ISPs create the most value.
OSS/BSS-supported provisioning and billing
Access a platform designed to support service activation, order flow, provisioning, billing and reporting across multiple ISP tenants.
Access to citywide fibre infrastructure
Use shared, high-capacity citywide fibre infrastructure built to connect homes, businesses and future digital services.
Why
Founder-led. Execution-tested. Built for open access.
SOA is led by Mike Harris, co-founder of SiFi Networks America, drawing on more than a decade of practical open-access fiber deployment experience in the United States.
Watch the Open Access Story
The short video explains why open-access fiber is a more efficient infrastructure model:
One shared citywide network, multiple ISP tenants, recurring wholesale access revenue, and ownership of the enduring fiber asset.
Built by overcoming the difficulties of fiber deployment
Smarter Open Access brings together all the agreements, operators, technology, software, ISPs, and supply chain needed for immediate execution.

Operational reporting
From city agreement to operating network.
Smarter Open Access is designed to move through the full open-access lifecycle without rebuilding the operating model at each stage.
SOA brings together the city agreements, design capability, technology partners, operating systems, ISP relationships and deployment processes required to move from city approval to live network.
The result is a coordinated deployment of 10Gbps-capable fibre networks delivering digitally connected and sustainable cities while closing the digital divide.
