BAI Communications is rebranding as Boldyn Networks and establishing its global headquarters in London. The neutral host provider will operate independently from BAI Australia while expanding its presence in North America and Europe, supported by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board. Boldyn Networks has already made significant contributions to the UK’s infrastructure development, including partnering with Transport for London to build a neutral host network across the London Underground and transforming Sunderland into the UK’s most advanced smart city. The company believes the neutral host model is the answer to building an interconnected future that supports operators, cities, and governments in deploying connectivity in the most efficient and sustainable way.
BAI Communications, a leading global neutral host provider, has announced its rebranding to Boldyn Networks and the establishment of its global headquarters in London. The move is part of the company’s ambitious growth plans, supported by the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, and positions Boldyn Networks to operate independently from BAI Australia while expanding its presence in North America and Europe.
As seen on Igor Leprince, Group CEO of Boldyn Networks, the establishment of the global headquarters in the UK marks the start of an exciting new journey for the company. Being based in one of the world’s leading economies will allow Boldyn Networks to accelerate its growth plans and further boost opportunities for its customers and highly skilled experts who want to be part of the company’s ongoing global expansion.
The neutral host model is the answer to building an interconnected future that supports operators, cities, and governments in deploying connectivity in the most efficient and sustainable way, creating a smarter, safer future, Leprince added.
Boldyn Networks has already made substantial contributions to the UK’s infrastructure development. Over the past two years, the company has increased its workforce by tenfold, creating nearly 800 direct and indirect jobs. The company has invested over £1 billion in projects, such as providing mobile connectivity to Hornsea Two – the world’s largest wind farm – and deploying a 5G private network for offshore wind development in the Humber.
One of the company’s most well-known initiatives involves partnering with Transport for London (TfL) to build a neutral host network across the London Underground. This network will deliver 4G and 5G mobile connectivity to 137 stations, platforms, and 400 kilometres of tunnels, as well as support the emergency services network in the tube. Boldyn Networks is also leveraging TfL’s infrastructure to enhance street-level mobile connectivity and implement smart city applications.
The company has also partnered with Sunderland City Council to establish a 5G advanced wireless infrastructure, transforming Sunderland into the UK’s most advanced smart city. This collaboration includes the development of public Wi-Fi networks, smart sensors for road safety, and the creation of 5G-enabled solutions in collaboration with the University of Sunderland.
As seen on Rt Hon Kemi Badenoch, Secretary of State for the Department for Business and Trade, bringing international companies and investments to the UK is critical to driving innovation and creating jobs. Boldyn Networks’ decision to establish its global headquarters in London is a testament to the UK’s position as a world-class destination for tech investment.
The rebranding of BAI Communications to Boldyn Networks and the establishment of its global headquarters in London is a significant move that positions the company to pursue its ambitious growth plans. With its substantial contributions to the UK’s infrastructure development, Boldyn Networks is set to play a crucial role in building a smarter, safer future through the deployment of connectivity in the most efficient and sustainable way.
