Techstart Ventures led the pre-seed round, which will fund team expansion and product development.
"We live in a world with an insatiable appetite for data"
The Northumberland connectivity provider has secured its fourth injection of capital from the North East Venture Fund, managed by Mercia.
"Trench Networks has made great progress since our first investment two years ago. Its award-winning technology and rapid deployment times have enabled it to build a strong track record in the construction industry. As businesses of all types become increasingly dependent on internet connections, this latest funding will allow it to take advantage of opportunities in other sectors."
Gresham House invests £63m through its British Strategic Investment Fund to accelerate the delivery of ultrafast fibre connectivity across the UK.
"The Telcom team has impressed us with its customer-driven approach to delivering high-quality fibre service to both commercial and residential settings. The business’ repeat customer base demonstrates its expertise in providing gigabit connectivity where and when needed, and will allow our investors to benefit from a reliable recurring revenue stream."
The funding round was led by Intel Capital with participation from existing backers including Qualcomm Ventures and Dell Technologies Capital.
"We see significant traction in the market for 5G network solutions, with private 5G networks being the indisputable leading solution for both private campuses and national deployments,"
Mobeus backed the independent internet service provider with a multi-million pound injection to accelerate rural fibre rollout.
"The insatiable demand for data isn’t going anywhere and we have a significant opportunity to leverage our established position in Kent. With this new funding and Mobeus’s partnership behind us, we can achieve this with pace and agility."
