Exponential-e’s latest investments offer more London businesses access to UK-sovereign connectivity
The Exponential-e Group has announced the largest expansion of its EXPO.e Networks platform since its inception in 2021, providing public and private sectors businesses south of the Thames with direct connections to its self-owned, UK-sovereign network and full solution portfolio. This will both fulfil London business' evolving requirements around the resilience, availability, and security of critical applications and AI platforms, and support true UK sovereignty for critical data.
Having already deployed self-owned fibre under the streets of key locations - covering all buildings from Bishopsgate across to Paddington and from the Thames to Euston Road, this phase of EXPO.e Networks' evolution applies the same principles to locations south of the river, providing organisations based in these areas with the access to the same best-in-class connections and integrated solution wraps via an additional 8km of fibre, deployed under the city's streets.
Initial deployments have covered the area spanning Waterloo, London Bridge, and down to Elephant & Castle, with more planned for the future.
Andrew Chant, Director of Infrastructure at the Exponential-e Group, commented:
Connectivity has always been the bedrock of the Exponential-e Group's solution portfolio, and the first EXPO.e Networks deployments are a logical extension of that model. The concept has already proven its worth at locations like Somerset House, and through intensive consultation with our customers and partners, we have refined it into a clear, standardised approach that can be applied at premises across the rest of the London and, in the years ahead - the rest of the UK.
As we progress, I hope we will see a shift in the way organisations think about their networks, treating them as the foundation of their broader IT ecosystems and designing, deploying, and scaling them with this in mind, ensuring they are seamlessly and securely integrated with the growing range of Cloud, UC, cyber security, and SaaS platforms organisations depend on."
Andrew Chant, Director of Infrastructure - Exponential-e Group.
