Winchester-based operator of TV, radio and smart metering networks, working for broadcasters and utilities and offering no home broadband.
About Arqiva
Arqiva says it has worked in UK broadcasting for nearly a century, from the first television broadcasts, satellite TV and Teletext to the national DAB radio and digital terrestrial television networks it helped launch.
Its work now reaches beyond media into smart energy and smart water metering for utilities. It also says it was among the first in Europe to trial 5G fixed wireless broadband.
Arqiva Limited was incorporated in 1990, is registered at Crawley Court in Winchester and works with broadcasters, utilities and other organisations. Its website does not offer broadband to homes, so households looking for a connection will need a different provider.
