How we build our wholesale Hypercity fibre networks and install dedicated leased lines

‍

Watch the video above for a detailed, clear explainer of how we’ve built our own fibre network and how we deliver dedicated leased lines in as little as 10 days across our six Hypercities. 

‍

That’s the fastest internet installation in the UK - an average of 89% faster than industry standard. Plus, because we also offer wireless rooftop backup in our Hypercities, we can provide a 100% uptime SLA. All this to say: you can offer a faster and more resilient service than your competition, if you’re operating in any of our six Hypercities.

‍

But big numbers and bold claims are one thing. We wanted to provide a more technical look at exactly how we do it. 

‍

In our fibre install explainer video, you’ll hear from Thom Seddon our CTO, Will Goodall, Head of Wholesale and Chris White, one of our infrastructure engineers, as they talk you through a Hypercity fibre install, from data centre to customer site. We’re talking…

‍

• Data centres: We’ve got data centres in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool The central hub of our fibre networks in each city, these are the heart of the operation and where your customer connections start their journey.
• Chambers and nodes: We build our own chambers to house nodes across the cities, to ensure nobody else can access it and there won’t be any disruption.
• Pulled and blown fibre: To allow the install of high capacity cables and complete routes without the need to install multiple nodes all along the way.
• Routers and beyond: The completely bespoke service we can provide into your customers’ premises. You can bring your own routers, IPs and access points, or we can provide the lot - or whichever combination works for you.
• Full stack support: From our in-house planner, to our own engineers to the dedicated Account Manager you’ll get when you work with us. Because we own, maintain and secure our own Hypercity networks, we’re accountable for every single bit of the kit. So you can outsource end-to-end network management to us. Or just take connectivity. Whatever works for you.
