Neos Networks' 100Gbps capable network extended further across the UK with connectivity to eight new data centres

  • Neos Networks
What are ROADMS?
  • New data centre connections, built to provide 100Gbps Optical and Ethernet services, will extend Neos Networks reach to more than 90 data centres nationwide
  • Four existing data centres have been upgraded to enable 100Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet services

LONDON, UK, 15 September 2020 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity and business telecoms providers today announces that eight new data centres have been added to its network, with four existing data centres upgraded. The news means that Neos Networks is now connected to more than 90 commercial data centres across the UK and forms part of the telecoms provider’s overall investment programme to deliver high capacity connectivity across England, Scotland and Wales to support the ever-increasing capacity demands of UK businesses.

A better-connected UK

According to IDC’s Global DataSphere Forecast (May 2020), more than 59 zettabytes of data will be processed globally in 2020 with enterprise data demands playing a considerable role in that year-on-year increase in consumption. Whether it’s for customer orders, billing systems or managing IT infrastructure, processing information is critical for the smooth-running of any business. And that requirement is felt in all corners of the UK, prompted by emerging technologies such as 5G and IoT.

In recognition of this fact, Neos Networks has connected eight new data centres in England, Scotland and Wales, including ASK4 in Sheffield, AQL DC2 and DC5 in Leeds, SCC and Six Degrees in Birmingham, DataVita and Pulsant in Glasgow and Next Generation Data in Newport. All of which are live and available for service immediately. The business has also upgraded Global Switch 2, Interxion Hanbury Street in London, LD5 in Slough and Kilburn House in Manchester to facilitate 100Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet services as standard.

To facilitate their regional and access network requirements, many companies need high capacity connectivity to handle large data transfers from the edge to the core. Neos Networks’ data centres will be connected to its rapidly growing national network of unbundled exchanges, an offering the company believes will help meet the capacity demands of its customers.

The combination of Optical 100Gbps and Ethernet 10Gbps services gives companies scope to cost-effectively tap into high bandwidth connectivity and scale as required allowing capacity to grow at the same rate as their business. These services can all be accessed via Neos Networks’ quoting and ordering portal, LIVEQUOTE.

Flexibility during uncertain times

In recent months, even the best-laid plans have had to be re-assessed. COVID-19 has seen weekday daytime broadband traffic increase between 35 and 60 per cent in the UK. With instant access to data from anywhere being more important than ever, businesses are having to reconfigure their infrastructure to grant more people online access. The option to access both Optical and Ethernet connectivity in one place, gives organisations the autonomy to select a solution that best suits their network needs. Reliable, fast, high capacity connectivity will prevent slow processing or downtime and will empower businesses to scale based on their current requirements.

Sector Director for Service Providers at Neos Networks, Simon Willmott said: “With digital transformation in full swing, everything businesses do today depends on connectivity. The issue for companies is that finding a local, business-ready connectivity solution they can plug in to is not always easy. By providing Optical and Ethernet services that span the UK, we can better enable local networks that need to be connected nationally, providing businesses with the robust, reliable, business-ready connectivity they require.”

Neos Networks and NYnet deploy critical infrastructure to support blue light services treating COVID-19 patients

  • Neos Networks

Ethernet connectivity will enable deployment of ‘Extended Access Hub’ in and around North Shields, where medical professionals can care for non-critical COVID-19 patients

LONDON, UK, June 18 2020 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity providers, today announces its role in working with long term partner NYnet to support infrastructure development of an NHS Extended Access Hub in North Shields, Tyne and Wear in the North East of England. The hub was established to help medical staff support COVID-19 patients that required treatment in a secure facility but were not deemed as needing urgent hospital care.

In order to successfully set up the new site, robust, resilient and above all reliable connectivity was required. It was agreed that Ethernet would be the best solution to facilitate the needs and requirements of the on-site medical professionals.  Ethernet provides a reliable and stable service whilst also enabling the provision of high bandwidth speeds to support on-site systems & processes.

Having worked with Neos Networks for a number of years, NYnet contacted its provisioning team to acquire the technology, highlighting the importance of quick delivery of this service to support the COVID-19 response. A typical timeline for the sourcing and deployment of an Ethernet connection of this type, taking into account the need for third party collaboration and coordination, can take, on average, between 40 and 60 days. Given the critical importance of this particular project, Neos Networks accelerated timings as much as possible.

Thanks to the skill and effort of the front office team in manually working alongside industry partners, delivery of the circuit was completed in just eight working days. Once the circuit was deployed, NYnet was able to quickly install a router and connect the site to the Health & Social Care Network (HSCN).

Simon Willmott, Sector Director for Service Provider at Neos Networks said: “We are living in challenging times, where the reliance on our blue light services has never been so great. When NYnet reached out to us for Ethernet connectivity, we did everything in our power to work with providers across the industry to make the deployment of the project as quick and painless as possible.

The successful completion of this deployment has been a real team effort and is a testament to the commitment of businesses across the sector in coming together during the pandemic to make sure the lives of those on the front line, and their patients, are a little bit easier.”

Zoe Oxley, Senior Project & Deployment Manager at NYnet said: “The Extended Access Hub is a critical component in the North East’s fight against COVID-19. As soon as the medical team reached out to us for connectivity support, we understood the importance of procuring and delivering a reliable connectivity solution as quickly as possible.

Having worked with Neos Networks on previous circuit deliveries we knew of the benefits of the LIVEQUOTE portal, but not even in our wildest dreams could we have predicted an eight-day turnaround from order to completion. This well managed, smooth process is a great display of how the industry can support our front-line key workers, should we all pull together.”

Smarter sewers: Technical User Group (TUG) launched to develop standards for fibre deployment in the wastewater network

  • Neos Networks

Independently chaired working group is developing a common set of standards for installing fibre in the sewers, which will also enable wastewater network monitoring technology

LONDON, UK, 3 March 2020 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity providers today announces they have launched an independently chaired Technical User Group (TUG) that has brought together five of the UK’s leading water companies, created to develop consistent guidelines for installing fibre in the sewers.

The news comes at a time when there is currently no existing agreed-upon standard for deploying fibre in the sewers that ensures minimal disruption to the sewer infrastructure, the water company’s customers and the public.

A smarter future

Water utility companies provide an essential public service by taking away and treating millions of litres of wastewater every day. The UK contains hundreds of thousands of miles of sewers across the country, some dating back to the Victorian era, their performance is vulnerable to external threats like heavy rainfall and blockages. Real-time data on wastewater flows will help to improve services to customers and protect the environment.

Neos Networks’ Fibre in the Sewers (FiS) programme runs fibre through existing infrastructure in dense metro cities to improve connectivity, while avoiding costly and disruptive dig sites. It includes the development of pioneering technology, that has the capability to transform passive sewerage systems into smart wastewater networks. Enabling water companies to identify problems earlier in order to reduce the potential for flooding and pollution.

Neos Networks is working with major water utility companies to agree a common set of standards that will improve the connectivity ambitions of both businesses and consumers, as well as enabling the water utilities to further improve services to their customers.

The TUG will regularly convene to enable water companies to exchange technical information for the purpose of creating specifications and codes of practice relating to the deployment of telecommunications ducts and fibre optical cables within sewer pipes.

By major water utility companies agreeing on consistent standards, fibre can be laid more quickly across the country and cutting-edge network monitoring technology can be installed at the same time. This set of standards will help Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to deploy 5G services (supported by Neos Networks’ infrastructure) quicker, more efficiently and potentially at a lower cost which ultimately helps facilitate and accelerate the wider roll out of 5G across the country. Neos Networks will also be able to monitor its network in real-time, meaning technical teams can respond to issues faster, resulting in more reliable networks.

Sector Director for Energy and Utilities at Neos Networks, Paul Clark said: “To advance the UK’s digital ambitions and drive forward the smart cities of the future, we are rolling out a number of large infrastructure projects to improve nationwide connectivity. We understand that it’s a critical requirement to keep disruption to a minimum when working on such projects, so we are maximising the use of existing assets including the sewer network to lay fibre. This has helped keep costs down and eventually will enable the real-time monitoring of water flow activity, ensuring strong, lasting relationships with some of the UK’s leading water and sewerage companies.

“By establishing the TUG we have brought some of the key players into one room to agree a common set of standards, that not only enable us to further develop our connectivity offerings via the sewer, but also deploy cutting edge monitoring technology. This technology will help these providers monitor the flow of sewage, and better manage their infrastructure, which will futureproof them for years to come.”

Paul Kerr, Managing Director of Scottish Water Horizons, a member of the TUG, said: “Scottish Water has 32,000 miles of wastewater pipes throughout Scotland. It makes perfect sense to utilise this vast infrastructure in order to help enable telecommunications, reduce disruption to our customers and the environment, and support smart networks to provide real-time monitoring.

“With most of us using the internet and our mobile phones on a daily basis, there is a constant demand for increased and improved communications infrastructure. By using the existing sewer network, we can support Neos Networks in their development of a set of standard specifications to support the deployment of fibre in the sewer network, whilst ensuring that the Scottish Water network is protected.”

Wayne Earp, Independent Trustee and Consultant of WFE Consulting, Chair of the TUG, said: “As the industry looks to achieve smarter, more efficient operations, working closely with connectivity providers such as Neos Networks to turn passive sewerage systems into intuitive wastewater networks, has become a key requirement.

“Although fibre in the sewers is no new concept, the TUG was established to bring key stakeholders from across the industry together to agree on consistent standards for this process, and share knowledge. This will make laying fibre quicker, while also enabling the deployment of cutting-edge network monitoring technology, helping to reduce wastage, flooding and driving forward a better customer experience.”

“To advance the UK’s digital ambitions and drive forward the smart cities of the future, we are rolling out a number of large infrastructure projects to improve nationwide connectivity. We understand that it’s a critical requirement to keep disruption to a minimum when working on such projects, so we are maximising the use of existing assets including the sewer network to lay fibre. By establishing the TUG we have brought some of the key players into one room to agree a common set of standards, that not only enable us to further develop our connectivity offerings via the sewer, but also deploy cutting edge monitoring technology”

LONDON, UK, 27 November, 2019 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity suppliers, has been chosen by Jisc, the digital solutions provider for the UK research and education sectors, to launch the ‘Jisc Midlands’ network. The brand-new network is a combination of the current Jisc East and West Midlands networks and will enable education and research facilities across the region to tap into connectivity speeds of up to 100Gbit/s.

As the UK looks to achieve full-fibre connectivity by the end of the decade, Neos Networks is partnering with like-minded businesses to initiate innovative projects that will drive forward fibre networks and improve access to services. The new network forms part of this strategy and will provide education and research facilities across the region, including the universities of Birmingham, Warwick and Nottingham, with access to higher bandwidth.

Neos Networks was awarded the contract following a competitive procurement process. Jisc chose the business as it met the key criteria of being able to design a fast and reliable network that could support required bandwidth at the best value; a critical need for education and research hubs as they increasingly raise their capacity requirements, with biggest users in the region currently utilising up to 20Gbit/s.

Neos Networks’ flexible, resilient and high-bandwidth network will ensure long-term value for money. As Jisc is a publicly funded organisation, ensuring projects are undertaken in a way that is most cost-effective to its members and customers is a significant factor in procurement.

A key element of this project is Neos Networks’ ability to incorporate other service providers’ networks. As well as utilising its core network, Neos Networks will ensure that Jisc receives the best possible value by using fibre from three other telecommunications companies and undertaking strategic construction to achieve an optimum bespoke design, based on the most advantageous routes and not dependent upon fibre ownership.

Today’s news, the latest in Neos Networks’ ongoing network expansion drive, further strengthens the near 20-year relationship between Neos Networks and Jisc. Most recently the two businesses announced a partnership to update and consolidate the Janet South network again extending a working relationship for the continued management of the UK Backbone network.

We are delighted to have been awarded the Jisc Janet Midlands contract. This network will help Midlands-based education and research centres connect and collaborate across the region and the wider UK, as well as access the Internet and Cloud applications. It will enable them to connect to global research centres, further driving innovation and supporting the UK’s ambition of being a leader in research and further education.

Three UK and Neos Networks launch fibre test bed in London’s West End to serve business and the busiest retail street in Europe

  • Neos Networks

Neos Networks on track to deliver 50% of the underlying network to help enhance Three UK’s 4G and enable it to rollout the UK’s fastest 5G network in this area

LONDON, UK, 25 July 2019 Europe’s busiest shopping district is set to be used as a test zone for the UK’s fastest 5G network. London’s West End has been chosen as a prime location to trial the new technology by Three UK and Neos Networks. The two companies will run the fibre test bed as part of an ongoing connectivity collaboration programme.

As one of the most populated and highly visited regions in the city – home to Europe’s busiest retail road, Oxford Street, generating tens of millions of monthly visitors – the rollout of the UK’s fastest 5G network in this area of the capital, is a major development for London. The project will allow Three UK to add extra capacity to its 4G and 5G networks to offer customers in the proximity a faster, more reliable experience.

Jace Tyrrell, Chief Executive of New West End Company, which represents 600 businesses in London’s West End, said: “As the world’s leading retail & leisure destination, London’s West End is the ideal place to test the UK’s fastest 5G network. In order to retain its global status, the international centre must have the infrastructure and connectivity to support its businesses and the 200 million annual visitors to the area who expect it to be fully digitally equipped. The evolution of the retail sector prioritises unique customer experiences, and increasingly relies on new, frictionless and innovative technology. This deployment will enable consumers to connect and engage with retailers on a new level, and power sustainable growth across the West End”.

Nationwide availability of high capacity fibre is vital to the successful deployment of 5G, and last year Neos Networks outlined its most significant network investment project to date. The programme, known as ‘Edge 3’, will see the company unbundle 177 BT exchanges by 2020, allowing Neos Networks to deploy its own technology on BT’s infrastructure and add over 180,000 UK business post codes to its network reach. It underpins Mobile Network Operator (MNO) Three UK’s 4G enhancement, and 5G home broadband and mobile ambitions.

5G launch plans

Three UK will launch its first 5G sites offering home broadband this August in London, and extend to 25 other UK towns and cities before the end of the year. The communications provider will roll out its 5G broadband initially – supported by an innovative project by Neos Networks that sees part of its fibre network run through London’s Thames Water waste water network to enhance densification in a key metro area – 50% of which will be rolled out in summer 2019. Anticipating where 5G demand would surge, Neos Networks sought new, innovative routes to create a fibre network in a key location with faster deployment timescales than traditional digs. Neos Networks’ innovation won’t stop there, with teams exploring further creative opportunities to give MNO customers robust backhaul solutions.

The need for new fibre

The race to launch a reliable 5G offering is on but the importance of the underlying networks can’t be overlooked. Its speed, consistency and ubiquity is set to revolutionise consumer services, meaning downloads of HD films in minutes and enablement of future technology such connected cars, smart cities and medical devices could all be possible. However, the key requirement ahead of the launch of commercial 5G services is high-capacity fibre connectivity, which must provide fast, reliable and secure backhaul to core networks in order to be able to cope with the expected massive increase in data usage.

Sarah Mills, sector director for network operators said: “Ofcom data shows UK data usage is set to grow thirteen-fold between 2017 and 2025, this will be concentrated in metro city hotspots. Our high-capacity fibre ring in central London will link to Three UK’s cell sites using London’s water waste network. This innovative, secure and robust fibre installation is necessary to provide greater resiliency, increased capacity and reduced latency. Three UK is already utilising our unique and diverse backhaul connectivity, and we’re in a strong position to trial their 5G offering in one of Europe’s busiest areas, as well as enhancing existing services for their customers. However, our creative approach to networking won’t stop there, as we continue to bring further network innovation to the market over the coming months.”

Dave Dyson, Chief Executive Officer of Three UK: “Fibre is an essential component of any 5G network. Three UK is bringing the UK’s fastest 5G network to 25 towns and cities by the end of this year, as well as significantly enhancing its 4G network over the next few years. Neos Networks is a vital partner which is using innovative ways to stimulate much needed competition in the fibre backhaul market which will give customers the best experience for both mobile and home broadband services”.

“As the world’s leading retail & leisure destination, London’s West End is the ideal place to test the UK’s fastest 5G network. In order to retain its global status, the international centre must have the infrastructure and connectivity to support its businesses and the 200 million annual visitors to the area who expect it to be fully digitally equipped. The evolution of the retail sector prioritises unique customer experiences, and increasingly relies on new, frictionless and innovative technology. This deployment will enable consumers to connect and engage with retailers on a new level, and power sustainable growth across the West End”.

When examining what’s behind this surge in capacity demand from UK businesses, a vast majority of enterprises highlighted ‘a reduction in IT estate costs’ and an ‘increase in cloud adoption’ as the two most important drivers for their IT strategy for 2020 and beyond. The five data centres Neos Networks has brought on-net will enable enterprises to access public clouds directly, without the need to procure individual connections into each cloud provider. This makes it straightforward for enterprises to achieve their cloud adoption strategy through one supplier, no matter where they’re located.

Colin Sempill, Chief Executive, Neos Networks said: “We’re continually investing in our customers’ needs, providing the most robust services that their businesses require. Whether that’s increasing our connectivity footprint by deploying our five new optical-enabled data centres in high demand regional blackspots or investing to provide densification solutions for businesses in metro city areas like London”.

“As enterprises respond to emerging technology trends and with the rise of the Internet of Things, they’re relying on high capacity networks to fuel the future of Industry 4.0. Our recent network investment supports this by ensuring we’re in the best position to serve our customers both now and in the future”.

Neos Networks announces CityFibre as a new strategic network partner for Ethernet services

  • Neos Networks

Adding CityFibre as an Edge Plus provider offers Neos Networks’ channel partners more choice when selecting last-mile providers

LONDON, UK, 18 June 2019 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity suppliers today announced that CityFibre, a leading provider of wholesale full fibre infrastructure across the UK, will be joining the ranks of its Edge Plus providers for Ethernet services. The deal is an extension of an existing network partnership and will increase presence for both companies in crucial geographies across the UK. CityFibre’s Ethernet services will be added to Neos Networks’ price comparison tool LIVEQUOTE, which will offer more choice for customers when selecting a last-mile service provider.

Customers are demanding an easier way to procure Ethernet services. In an effort to diversify the choice of last-mile providers, while offering reliable delivery, Neos Networks has invested in systems and processes to ensure customers get a personalised service. Through LIVEQUOTE they’ll be able to order Ethernet services up to 1Gbps at the touch of a button, and 10Gbps will be offered on a bespoke basis.

The partnership offers cost efficiencies, as well as an alternative fibre last-mile provider with access to extensive CityFibre metro networks across 15 cities. six of their cities – Bradford, Sheffield, Leeds, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Edinburgh – are live today and available to quote and order via the portal. The remaining nine cities will be added to the platform over the coming months, giving customers further choice for metro city connectivity.

LIVEQUOTE will look to increase customers’ access to alternative last-mile partners, like CityFibre, that complements existing backhaul providers. Neos Networks’ customers can get best value for all their requirements with access to multiple quotes and orders from different providers to guarantee choice and flexibility.

Colin Sempill, Chief Executive at Neos Networks said: “We’re on a mission to improve the way organisations buy network services. Neos Networks and CityFibre have both invested substantially in UK fibre networks over the last ten years, challenging the status quo and developing a strong proposition in the market. It was essential to choose a like-minded partner to continue to deliver high quality connectivity services to the market, and CityFibre was a natural fit.”

Rob Hamlin, Commercial Director, at CityFibre said: “Partnering with Neos Networks not only helps to meet increased demand and provide all-important choice in the market, but culturally, our two organisations are well suited. We share a strong entrepreneurial spirit and a need to disrupt the market for the benefit of our partners and customers. Neos Networks’ customers will gain access to our differentiated 1Gbps and 10Gbps Ethernet services, and in return, CityFibre will be able to take advantage of the company’s extensive reach and customer base to increase connections across our full fibre network infrastructure.”

Neos Networks & Jisc support UK access to global education & research networks

  • Neos Networks

Launch of Janet South network and extension of UK Backbone network partnerships will keep UK education & research facilities connected globally with speeds of up to 100Gbps

LONDON, UK, 30 April  2019 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity suppliers, today announces a new critical network contract with digital solutions provider for the UK education sector, Jisc. A pre-existing contract between the two companies has also been significantly extended, developing the connectivity framework required to improve the support for education and research across the UK, and access to the global research and education network.

Neos Networks’ core fibre network will be utilised by Jisc’s UK ‘backbone network’ for a further nine years until 2028, enabling data-intensive research centres including The Science and Technology Facilities Council’s Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, and Imperial College London, access to significant bandwidth and speeds of up to 100Gbps.

As a result of the long-term success of the core backbone network, Jisc has chosen Neos Networks to refresh the Janet South network as part of the Jisc programme to develop a new Janet Network access infrastructure. The partnership will see seven BT exchanges unbundled and will utilise four existing Points of Presence to provide improved connectivity to 11 universities, including Southampton and Surrey, and 80 local colleges between Aldershot and Bournemouth. The seven-year deal is testament to the strong relationship the two companies enjoy.

By working closely together for almost 20 years, Jisc has been able to provide the critical connectivity required for a large number of UK education and research facilities, including access to CERN’s Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. These partnership developments will ensure Jisc has the continued support of Neos Networks’ award-winning and secure network for another decade. In turn, Jisc’s customers will be able to seamlessly collaborate across not only the country but around the world, making classroom learning and collaborative research projects across vast geographies a real possibility thanks to high capacity, low latency networks.

Colin Sempill, MD, Neos Networks said: “Through utilising our expansive network and industry expertise, Jisc has been able to provide vital connectivity to some of the UK’s most critical education and research facilities. Thanks to our high capacity, low latency services these institutions can collaborate across the UK and the globe. We’re very excited to announce the launch of the Janet South Network partnership and further extension of the UK backbone network, which will keep vital institutions producing ground-breaking research and development for years to come, particularly as 5G and internet-enabled devices become more mainstream.

“Neos Networks views every customer individually and we understand that they require a tailored approach when it comes to their unique network requirements. There’s no one-size-fits-all plan and this is why we’ve built such a solid relationship with Jisc over nearly two decades.”

Jeremy Sharp, Janet Infrastructure Director, said: “The relationship between Jisc and Neos Networks originated in the early 2000s and, nearly 20 years later, the relationship continues to grow from strength-to-strength. A substantial level of trust has built up between our two companies and these new network contracts show our continued commitment to further develop this relationship.

“Over the past decade, we have rolled out a series of projects that have involved complex network design challenges and the Neos Networks team has always stood up to the challenge, providing reliable and diverse networks, and excelled at meeting all expectations.”

Neos Networks launches SD-WAN solution to revolutionise IT estate management in UK

  • Neos Networks

IT architecture holding back innovation in enterprises – 40% cite IT agility as an issue

LONDON, UK, 16 April 2019 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity providers, and part of SSE Group, today announces the launch of its new SD-WAN solution, targeting UK enterprises. Legacy WAN (Wide Area Networking) has so far, relied on physical on-premise data centres, which weren’t built to manage today’s enterprises. Increased data usage and critical dependence on the cloud has turned businesses on their heads and forced network managers to reconsider their network infrastructure. With SD-WAN, Neos Networks will give IT teams unprecedented visibility and central control over their IT estate, from which enterprise IT managers can benefit from increased agility – quickly and securely connecting branch users to applications via any underlying network without compromise.

Increasingly, businesses need real-time visibility of their network estate, and tools to optimise it. The lack of visibility – experienced by around half of IT decision makers – means businesses could be paying for bandwidth they don’t need and could be making use of expensive, resilient links that usually lie dormant waiting for failure. Neos Networks’ SD-WAN will give IT managers a central view of their IT estate and empower them to optimise traffic routes to critical applications. It will spot opportunities to enhance visibility, speed, flexibility and security.

Neos Networks is collaborating with two market-leading brands, utilising market-leading technology to deliver its SD-WAN solution: enterprise network technology expert Silver Peak, and specialist network systems integrator Axians. Both bring extensive SD-WAN knowledge and experience.

Why do businesses need to transform their networks?

WAN technology has remained unmoved for the best part of three decades. Traditional WAN architecture is increasingly unable to keep up with the demands of the digital workplace, however Neos Networks’ SD-WAN will bring agility by minimising the need for expensive routing hardware and improving business connectivity between branch locations, the head office, and the cloud.
Neos Networks’ SD-WAN solution can be offered flexibly, in line with the changing procurement demands of many modern businesses. The tool will enable network managers to deliver higher levels of application performance, directly supporting organisations on a digital transformation journey.

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Silver Peak and Axians to launch our very own SD-WAN solution”, said Stephen Lawrence, Sector Director for Enterprise, Neos Networks. “It’s the next natural step in offering true digital transformation to UK enterprises. For us, SD-WAN is about providing a holistic view of an IT estate, having a secure and private network, enabling integrity, and a better end-user experience of application performance and availability, all whilst maximising uptime and benefitting from the efficiencies achieved”.

The partnership Neos Networks selected, with Axians and technology partner Silver Peak, will support their relentless focus on customer satisfaction and delivering service excellence. The company currently maintains an external NPS score of +22.

Allan Paton, Sales Director, UK & Ireland, Silver Peak said: “At Silver Peak, we’re proud to be recognised for developing a business-driven WAN edge platform that is globally acknowledged for its quality. Neos Networks’ impeccable customer service reputation makes them the ideal partner for future SD-WAN projects in a cloud-dependent world. Currently, there’s a big push for service providers to focus on opening up the network to improve business functionality and we’re pleased to collaborate to lead that initiative with our award-winning business-first SD-WAN technology.”

“There has never been a more exciting time than now when it comes to SD-WAN in the UK, and we’re proud to be working with connectivity market experts Neos Networks.” Said Chris Gilmour, CTO of Service Provider and Enterprise, Axians UK “Axians know that legacy enterprise networks are inefficient for today’s traffic, where requirements place a need on accessing cloud-hosted applications from any branch; traditional backhaul adds latency which impairs cloud application performance. The work Axians are doing with Neos Networks combined with Silver Peaks’ leading-edge technology shows that businesses can optimise the availability of clouds services in an agile and cost-effective way.”

“It’s the next natural step in offering true digital transformation to UK enterprises”.

Neos Networks debuts cost-saving fibre broadband backhaul product for ISPs

  • Neos Networks

New Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) backhaul product will use ‘virtual unbundling’ to provide access to over 700 exchanges in key business areas

LONDON, UK, 09 April, 2019 Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading connectivity suppliers, and part of SSE plc – today launches a transformative solution for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to quickly improve their business and consumer broadband services, called Scalefast FTTC. Service providers (SPs), particularly ISPs with a fibre broadband offering or those seeking one, avoid the heavy costs of unbundling BT Openreach exchanges directly and instead virtually unbundle them leveraging Neos Networks’ existing footprint. Neos Networks will provide the data backhaul and offer a flexible usage-based billing model. Business and consumer broadband providers will retain control, keeping their direct relationship with BT Openreach and maintaining buying power.

The product is one of the first of its kind, and new to market, with a financially viable usage-based billing model, making it attractive in both the short and long-term. ISPs will benefit from the significant reduction to the CAPEX investment that direct unbundling involves. This speedier route to accessing exchanges also means businesses can test new regions more quickly. ISPs could be taking live customer orders within three months versus potentially longer time frames.

Scalefast FTTC will allow ISPs to utilise Neos Networks’ extensive network, expanding their footprint nationwide. Consumer and business broadband providers will be able to offer a resilient and business-grade network to their customers, whilst still controlling oversubscription, as multiple NNIs can be procured to contend with traffic.

UK network investment

Neos Networks has been steadily investing in its network through its expansion programme termed ‘Project Edge’. The latest phase, coined ‘Edge 3’, is made up of 177 BT Exchanges being unbundled in the coming year. Once the expansion plans are complete, Scalefast FTTC will offer virtually unbundled access to 733 exchanges, made up of 179 parent exchanges and 554 child exchanges.

Colin Sempill, Managing Director, Neos Networks explains: “Scalefast FTTC is a solution that gives customers the ability to virtually unbundle BT Openreach exchanges at very little capital or operational cost. We’re able to roll out this disruptive solution due to our ability to deliver competitive reach and pricing thanks to our Edge expansion programme and our continued commitment to connectivity excellence. With this high capacity core network and backhaul, businesses and consumers will be better-placed to utilise FTTC broadband services via ISPs”.
