Following extensive work to connect Cardiff’s Ocean Way industrial zone, the company has now extended its high-capacity network to the Central Square enterprise zone and surrounding areas, including St Mary Street. This builds on Ogi’s commitment to revitalising urban centres across Wales with state-of-the-art broadband technology.
A Boost for Cardiff’s Businesses
The new connection leverages Ogi’s ‘dark network,’ spanning the M4 corridor and the Prince of Wales Bridge, offering enhanced resilience, network diversity, and wholesale capacity. The upgrades will support Cardiff’s status as a hub for major UK financial, legal, and creative sector businesses.
This milestone is a key component of Ogi’s broader plans for Cardiff, which includes connectivity upgrades at landmarks such as Cardiff Market as part of its £6.5 million restoration project. Ogi Pro managed services are already empowering local businesses, enabling them to embrace next-generation technologies and drive innovation in an increasingly digital economy.

Connecting Cardiff for the Future
Chief Executive Officer Ben Allwright shared his vision:
“Our capital city is home to some of the UK’s leading businesses, and many are Wales’s largest home-grown organisations. These businesses are bandwidth-hungry and tech-savvy – and deserve cutting-edge, enterprise-grade services. As a leading Welsh telco, we’re working hard to support their growth, enabling next-generation tech such as AI and helping to drive the Welsh economy forward.”
This latest rollout strengthens Cardiff’s position as a digitally connected hub, equipped to meet the demands of modern businesses, residents, and visitors. It also forms part of Ogi’s wider multimillion-pound investment across South Wales, designed to transform urban, suburban, and rural communities with the telecoms technology needed for a digital-first future.
