Elevate Wholesale to Integrate Vorboss’s Full Fibre Network in London

Network operator Elevate (formerly Telcom and Luminet) has today announced that they’ve signed a strategic deal to expand their UK wholesale reach in London by adding access to Vorboss‘s 100Gbps capable full fibre network to their platform, which is focused on serving businesses across the city centre.

The agreement means that Elevate Wholesale®, the channel partner division of Elevate, will now be able to reach “tens of thousands more London business premises” than they could before via their existing networks. Vorboss has spent the past few years deploying 500km of their own dedicated point-to-point fibre optic cables across Central London (covering most of zones 1 and 2), which we’re told is enough to potentially connect all commercial buildings in the area to their direct internet access and Ethernet network.

The move should complement Elevate’s rooftop point to point fixed wireless network, which was originally established across London – covering over 80,000 businesses – under the Luminet brand. Elevate Wholesale channel partners will now be able to quote and order Vorboss lines through the Elevate® Wholesale Portal.

Andy Tatlock, CRO at Elevate, said:

“It’s so important that we continue to offer our partners options, so they can always access the best pricing and service to meet their needs. Our partnership with Vorboss hugely expands the footprint and services we can offer in the London area. At the same time, we’re making things simpler – consolidating access options into one Portal, so partners can easily get access to the best infrastructure options for their requirement.”

Malcolm Puddefoot, Vorboss, said:

“We built our network to solve the connectivity challenges that have held London back. Working with Elevate will help more of London’s businesses to get high speed, dedicated fibre. Our network combined with Elevate’s experience as a premium managed service provider will be a compelling new offer for London’s business community.”

Apparently, Elevate Wholesale’s partners will also be able to access speeds of up to 10Gbps and a 100% uptime SLA (Service Level Agreement) guarantee, created by combining a primary fibre connection with a secondary rooftop wireless backup connection.
