Cityfibre Sign UK Fibre Optic Network Access Deal with Business ISP Gamma

Tuesday, Feb 7th, 2017 (9:47 am) - Score 1,104

Business ISP Gamma has moved to upgrade their national core network in the United Kingdom by signing a new long-haul Dark Fibre agreement with Cityfibre. The access agreement will connect 15 data centres and exchanges across the country via CityFibre’s long-distance and metro networks.

The agreement, which runs until 2042, aims to deliver multi-Terabit core and multi-Gigabit access speeds using 1,300km of Dark Fibre in a “fully resilient ring configuration“, between Manchester and London.

Cityfibre is already well known for having built or acquired a growing number of urban focused Fibre-to-the-Premise (FTTP) networks, which are generally used to connect public sector and business sites.

Andy Rawnsley, Chief Architect at Gamma, said:

“We are always looking to increase our capacity and the range of innovative services we can offer. CityFibre’s national long distance network is an ideal mechanism for us to deliver the speed, resilience and flexibility we need in our core network. Coupled with its extensive metro assets, CityFibre has fast become a one stop shop for fibre connectivity that is a breath of fresh air in the carrier market. We look forward to exploring how else we might work together in the future.”

Rob Hamlin, Commercial Director at CityFibre, added:

“We are delighted to welcome Gamma on-board as CityFibre’s first partner to access our long distance network on a national basis. The project demonstrates our unique capability to offer unified long distance and metro fibre solutions to national service providers. We look forward to working with Gamma to develop other innovative value propositions to the Enterprise and SME markets.”

Cityfibre currently have fibre footprints in 42 cities across the UK, which are linked via a national long distance network that connects these cities to major data-centres across the UK and to peering points in London.
