Cable operator Virgin Media Business has today announced the launch of its own “business-grade” 4G mobile network by making using of EE’s (Everything Everywhere) platform, which can already reach more than 60% of the United Kingdom.
The new Business Mobile product is designed to help firms “reduce costs” and move towards convergence of their fixed and mobile networks via a single supplier.

Apparently the new service will offer “the fastest speeds in the country” (at least for now), mobile email services, the ability to connect your desk phone and mobile seamlessly, online portals for support and billing, plus telephone support for users and customer administrators.
Duncan Higgins, VMB’s Director of Products, said:
“We’re simplifying things for our customers by being the single supplier for all their telecoms needs. EE’s 4G experience over the past ten months clearly illustrates the benefits of the technology and their 4G network coverage is unrivalled in the UK. With 4G, you can get more done, work flexibly and bring your professional applications together on a single device. Remote working is now the norm and adding 4G to our services increases our customers’ options for working in a way that suits them.
CIOs up and down the country have told us they believe mobile communications will be essential for the future of their organisation, but they also need a base of operations. In response, our new service builds on our existing connectivity, convergence and collaboration services while enabling businesses to give staff safe, secure mobile access to the tools and data they need.”
On the other hand there’s still something to be said for not putting all your eggs in one basket and instead using a selection of different suppliers.
