FibreSpan announces alliance with SSE Telecoms to significantly

increase London fibre network


London, United Kingdom - 10 January 2011

 
FibreSpan Limited, private high bandwidth fibre to the door connectivity provider, has signed an alliance agreement with Scottish and Southern Energy Telecommunications (SSE Telecoms) to lease its London metro dark fibre network. SSE Telecoms is one of the UKs leading Telecommunication providers, owning and operating a UK wide fibre optic network of over 7,500Km in length with over 120 Points of Presence.

The partnership will enable organisations across London to benefit from private point-to-point fibre connectivity to securely connect offices, offsite resources and business partners.

The deal secures FibreSpan a ten-year lease of SSE Telecoms extensive high-capacity fibre optic London network, with rights to extend the agreement after the initial period. FibreSpan will integrate the network with its existing assets to service Londons main commercial hubs. It covers an area that extends east from Paddington to the Docklands and from the South Bank north to Islington. The firm also operates multi-path routes through key areas to Heathrow and Slough.

With a national telecommunication licence (with code powers), FibreSpan has statutory rights to install, own and operate fibre network services to provide true fibre to the door connectivity. Its London network now offers over 250km of fibre, passing tens-of-thousands of businesses and directly into key data centres. Combined with bespoke installed fibre, the company can offer an extensive connectivity solution to firms across the city.

We think of this as a 'big win' for London businesses and we're excited about a long partnership with SSE Telecoms, said FibreSpan Chief Executive, Robert Bicket. Organisations looking for the ultimate in network and cost control can now access private fibre to the door network services - quickly and cost-effectively.

To add further value for its customers, FibreSpan also provides pan-European connectivity from London to major centres of business in Frankfurt, Zurich and Stockholm. Customers with multiple locations will benefit from private, reliable and fast building-to-building connections, whether those buildings are across the street or across borders.

FibreSpan is a network carrier specialising in providing high performance dark fibre and dedicated managed Ethernet services to companies based in London and across the UK. Ideally suited to organisations with distributed locations, FibreSpan connects multiple sites to form seamless uninterrupted private networks. Customers can improve network control, reduce costs and manage complexity, whilst improving performance.
