Gigabit SpeedsLeave the megabit web behind. With gigabit speeds at their fingertips, businesses will be able to effortlessly send and receive even the largest files in a flash. 1000 Mbps, connectivity means it’s 10-100 times faster than most business connections.

Cloud ComputingCloud computing offers every business a host of cost and time-saving benefits and with an ultra-fast gigabit connection businesses can extract maximum value.

Ultra Fast UploadsCrippling upload speeds are a thing of the past. Pure fibre enables internet services that are as fast uploading large files as they are downloading them.

CommunicationRevolutionise the way business can communicates. Ditch traditional land lines for cheaper, smarter VoIP telephony and have meetings face to face with high definition video conferencing tools.

Remote, secure data storageStoring data remotely using cloud applications like Dropbox, Google Drive or Box becomes a practical solution with a pure fibre connection.
