London, United Kingdom, 7 March 2005

The London Borough Council of Hammersmith and Fulham have appointed FibreSpan to provide a private dark fibre network between two main council offices. The agreement enables the Council to facilitate high-speed communication and host advanced software applications across a secure link.

Several providers were involved in the selection process - their techniques, services and costs assessed. FibreSpan was appointed to replace the BT LES circuits previously leased by the Council, enabling the client to meet increasing bandwidth requirements and improved value for money.

The Council was attracted to FibreSpan because it provides dark fibre at the most competitive rate and charges a fixed annual cost regardless of bandwidth or usage, providing the Council with a fixed cost base for the term of the contract. Moreover, the Council was impressed by FibreSpan’s flexible approach in constructing a solution and payment plan to suit their requirements.

The deployment took place, using FibreSpan’s patent-pending deployment technique, along London’s busy A4 and is integrated with the Council’s existing infrastructure. The client now enjoys a fully maintained and supported dark fibre connection between its sites.
