Metronet is a specialist wide area networking company that utilises the best industry products for last mile connectivity and work extremely closely with its vendors which in turn value Metronet's years of operational know-how and experience.

Reliability

The widely documented catastrophic failures of BT’s Manchester network infrastructure highlighted the importance of data and voice communications to public and private sector organisations of all types and sizes.

Wireless networks are not inherently reliable. However, Metronet combines their understanding of radio network design with its spectrum management expertise to provide a service that’s reliable and dependable. To ensure Metronet continues to meet its 99.95% Service Level Agreement, the company applies enormous focus and resource to monitoring and managing its network infrastructure, working behind the scenes 24 hours a day to ensure service availability and performance exceeds the standards associated with traditional (fibre and copper-based) legacy network operators.

Metronet also devotes considerable resources to testing new equipment and features from its selected suppliers, equipment that undergoes extensive lab and field-testing prior to live deployment.

Base station sites are secure and equipped with power management facilities and full battery backup systems to ensure power supply is uninterrupted and protected against power surges.

Metronet is the network of choice for Manchester City Council, the Greater Manchester Police,  Trafford Council and Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council for delivery of DVD quality, real-time CCTV streaming which is testament to the reliability of the network.
