London, United Kingdom, 20 March 2007

FibreSpan, the premier provider of affordable private fibre networks, is pleased to announce that it will showcase at the forthcoming Networkshop 35 conference to be held at the University of Exeter on 3 – 5 April 2007.

FibreSpan will be discussing its unlimited bandwidth campus-wide local area network solution which is ideal for educational establishments that require inter-site connectivity beyond their main JANET links. Its fixed price unlimited bandwidth model, with moderate capital costs and low recurrent costs, make it affordable to build high performance private fibre networks.  

FibreSpan has worked with UK academic organisations since 2002 and currently provides private fibre networks to many institutions across the country including those in the cities of London, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds and Cardiff.

“The industry is going through an era of transition. Traditionally demand has been met by managed services available from the leading telecom providers. Today establishments want virtually unlimited bandwidth networks that they can manage and control themselves,” comments Robert Bicket, FibreSpan’s Chief Executive Officer.

“With FibreSpan’s unique patent pending technology and competitive pricing model, educational institutions can now afford to build their own campus-wide all-fibre local area network. We are excited about bringing our solution to the JANET community”.

This unique event is aimed at bringing together 350 network managers and technical staff from the JANET community. Hosted by a different Higher Education Institution every year, the conference provides a forum for discussion on the latest network technologies and brings together expertise from all fields of networking.
