London, United Kingdom, 2 November 2006

Capital International, the leading provider of investment management services to institutional clients around the world, has appointed FibreSpan to deliver a dedicated dark fibre network to link multi-site operations. Capital International will benefit from FibreSpan’s highly resilient fibre connectivity, as well as fixed price unlimited bandwidth connectivity.

Capital International provides an array of investment services to clients across the world including pension funds, banks and financial institutions.  Secure, fast and diverse connectivity is crucial, and the company approached FibreSpan with the requirement to extend its LAN between its London head office and a new office location, providing reliable connectivity to manage all applications between sites.

FibreSpan provides the main link of a multi-route network and was selected as an alternative to other managed bandwidth providers.  FibreSpan matched its requirements exactly and enabled Capital International to create a completely diverse route, which would not have been achievable with other carriers in the area who shared network and exchanges.

Robert Bicket, CEO of FibreSpan comments:  “Our fixed price dark fibre puts Capital International in complete control of their own secure and diverse high speed network”.  

FibreSpan worked with Capital International to devise a solution and rapidly deliver a private network solution that was installed and operational ahead of requirements.
