Communications and networking provider Entanet UK, which sells wholesale voice and data products to ISPs, has completed a significant upgrade to its national network. The work has resulted in a 500% capacity increase at its London-Midland-North ring.

Entanet claims that it already operates at 10Gbps or better across London and at 10Gbps between London and its principal Birmingham, Stoke and Manchester locations. It has now replaced eight 1Gbps wavelengths with four 10Gbps wavelengths between London, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds and Manchester as part of its on-going strategy.


Entanet first began a multi-million pound investment programme in 2007, which included full adoption of BT's new 21st Century Network (21CN) platform. To complete the upgrade Entanet also had to work with one of its key infrastructure partners, Global Crossing (UK) Telecommunications Ltd.
