Overview
The NGA Tail Extension Service (TES) is an ancillary service that allows you to aggregate UFB Bitstream services from multiple UFB candidate areas on a single UFB handover connection service.
Launched in March 2020, our NGA national tail extension service enables you to expand your business nationwide quickly – expanding into areas where you might not already have a presence or reduce operating costs by closing down underutilised Points of Presence (PoP).
We will aggregate your UFB Bitstream services from multiple UFB coverage areas on a single UFB handover connection.
Currently, without TES you must have a UFB handover connection at 27 points of interconnection to provide service nationally. With NGA Tail Extension you can do it with one.

Other benefits
