Surf's Up for Geo Networks

LONDON -- Geo Networks Ltd (Geo), the leading provider of dedicated fibre networks, has announced today a further deal with Surf Telecoms (Surf), supplier of wholesale carrier fibre and bandwidth services in the Midlands, South-West and Wales.Following on from a successful project supporting Surf and one of their major customers in 2011, Surf approached Geo with a requirement to expand its fibre network to provide communication services to parent company Western Power Distribution. Connecting the two existing networks, located in the South-West and Wales to the newly acquired Midlands region, and bringing management of the entire infrastructure in-house was a crucial element in fulfilling Western Power’s business strategy.The 270km fibre optic network deployed connects Surf’s South-West network in Tewkesbury to some of the key locations in the Midlands including Worcester, Tipton, Hinckley, Leicester and Nottingham. Geo was one of those selected from a number of vendors due to both its network location and its open access approach to dark fibre. By leasing Geo dark fibre that tracks the national gas pipeline, Surf has additional security and the ability to manage its own services across an extended geographical footprint.Geo Networks Ltd.
