Sky and RM Tech to Improve High-Speed Fibre Connectivity for UK Schools
Education technology provider RM Technology and Sky Business Wholesale (Comcast) have signed a new partnership. The move aims to provide a fully resilient, high-speed connectivity solution for schools across the UK by leveraging Sky’s network to deliver a 100Gbps-ready, fibre-first network.
The move is said to have enhanced RM Technology’s existing portfolio with fully resilient, high-speed services, including a dedicated Network-to-Network Interface (NNI) handoff and, as standard, shadow VLANs. “This ensures schools have access to a 100Gb-ready, fibre-first network that is fast, secure, and resilient,” said the release.
Matt Bearpark, GM of Broadband at RM Technology, said: “This isn’t just about broadband—it’s about bridging the digital divide and ensuring schools, teachers, and students have access to the tools and resources they need to succeed. By teaming up with Sky Business Wholesale, we’re delivering infrastructure that’s built for the classrooms of tomorrow.”
