Metronet UK's Next Generation Network now in Tamworth!
February 14, 2012
Metronet UK Limited announces the launch of its next generation hybrid network to Tamworth and surrounding areas. Tamworth businesses can now take advantage of the UK’s most advanced network, offering best of breed, wired and wireless connectivity solutions at competitive rates.
Metronet’s innovative approach to technology means that Tamworth businesses are now able to enjoy connectivity with the best SLA and support in the industry, typically delivered 10 times quicker than traditional fibre and copper based services. By using a unique combination of fibre and high capacity wireless technology, lead times are significantly reduced and for the first time, businesses that have been held back by poor quality or over priced Internet services have a real alternative.
Metronet UK connects customers at speeds of 1Mbps to 10Gbps with a resilient network that spans the majority of the strategic UK data centres. This includes Telehouse East, Telehouse North, Global Switch 1 & 2, Telecity Williams, Telecity Kilburn, Telecity Synergy House & Telecity Renolds House (formerly IFL2). We also connect ICM Manchester, ICM Leeds, AQL Leeds, M427 & Hibernia Atlantic (Dublin). Metronet UK also peer on a number of UK peering LAN's including LINX, LoNAP, EdgeIX and IXLeeds.
Established in 2003, Metronet UK is a trusted partner to businesses across the Northwest and the Midlands, providing thousands of connections, from straight forward leased line services to complex multi-site MPLS solutions, cloud based hosted services, voice and managed hosting. Metronet’s customer base includes household names such as Vodafone, Media City, Lend Lease, Laing O'Rourke, West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council.
Metronet UK CEO, Elliott Mueller said, "The government's superfast broadband objectives are very consumer focused and do little to address the needs of businesses that need rock solid connectivity with tight service level agreements. The economics simply don't stack up for traditional providers to run fibre to the often dispersed locations where businesses call home. Metronet UK is now addressing this in Tamworth by providing the opportunity to connect to the UK's number one hybrid, business only network. We will deliver services quickly, in a cost effective manner and independently of the existing, outdated infrastructure."
