ISP Entanet Joins Metronet UK’s Wholesale Gigabit Wireless Network
Communications provider Entanet has today become one of the latest ISPs to sign-up with Metronet UK‘s wholesale ultrafast wireless connectivity platform, which will be used to help connect businesses across various parts of England.
The platform itself is intended to provide ISPs and business customers with an advanced and more affordable alternative to putting fibre in the ground, although the wireless network itself is of course still fed by high capacity fibre optic cables.
Metronet’s network has tended to focus on connecting businesses in poorly served urban areas, such as parts of the North West (Greater Manchester, Chester, Liverpool, Preston, Warrington, Merseyside, Burnley & Crewe), North East (Leeds, Bradford, Newcastle & Gateshead) and Midlands (Greater Birmingham & Tamworth) in England.
Stephen Barclay, Entanet’s Sales Director, said:
“In today’s business market, customers place enormous importance on the availability of their connectivity. This is especially true where they’re implementing a solution to new offices, or significantly upgrading their service to accommodate growing bandwidth requirements.
In these instances, timing is everything, and the impact of delays and excess construction charges can seriously damage their project. Through our partnership with Metronet (UK), channel partners can deliver a cost effective working solution to a customer fast, whether it be as a primary or interim connection.”
End.
