Geo Networks (GEO), a dedicated fibre optic solutions provider, has bounced back from its recent withdrawal from the Broadband Delivery UK (BDUK) process (here) by expanding its network through a new five year deal with wholesale fibre carrier Surf Telecoms.

The agreement means that Surf Telecoms will help GEO to expand its own fibre route between Bristol and Tewkesbury through new interconnections. Janet, who manages one of the UK's leading education networks and is one of Surf Telecoms key customers, also looks set to benefit.


It's understood that Janet’s key requirement was to link its community of research and education institutions in the South West of England. GEO has promised to help make that happen and as a result Surf Telecoms will initially light a new 10Gbit/s link across the 75km route.
