Enet, Ireland’s largest open access network provider, has launched two new products – Cloud Connect and Direct Internet Access – into the UK market, as it continues to expand its overseas presence. The product launches follow the appointment of the business’s first International Account Manager in the UK.
In this new role, Jason Alderton will oversee the growth of the international business, enabling UK telecommunications firms to sell their services to Irish broadband providers via Enet’s wholesale infrastructure.
Enet’s infrastructure integrates proprietary fibre and wireless networks with State-owned and third-party networks to offer ubiquitous network coverage across Ireland.
Enet has introduced Cloud Connect to ensure that enterprises can access the cloud through a more secure, reliable and consistent connection via a dedicated private line, without the additional expense of datacentre colocation and port rental. It providers secure access to data and is readily scalable to meet increased demand or changing business patterns.
Direct Internet Access (DIA) has been designed with the specific needs of UK corporate customers in mind. With access to a wide range of bandwidths up to 10Gbps, this service is suitable for corporate enterprises of all sizes seeking to establish a high performance, reliable connection to the Internet.
Speaking about the launch, David Eyre, Enet Chief Commercial Officer said: “We’re delighted to announce the launch of two further products for the UK telecoms market, both of which are a testament to our continued commitment to creating value for our UK customers.
Both Cloud Connect and DIA offer a variety of connectivity options into Ireland, and, together with our new International Account Manager, will ensure ready access to high-quality connectivity.”
