We’re in the midst of a digital revolution. Across the North and in our home city of Manchester, the rise of new technologies and cloud services are radically transforming the way we live and work. The government investment in gigabit capable infrastructure will have a transformative effect on public services across GM and businesses can expect the new infrastructure to have a significant impact. Faster speeds, better reliability and less internet downtime are just some of the benefits of full fibre connectivity. Enabling access to a new generation of digital services will be a catalyst for innovation, promote creativity and drive the economic and social development of Manchester. Telcom’s investment in this next generation infrastructure, will, in a very short space of time have impact from the city centre to all boroughs in Greater Manchester.

When Telcom Networks first launched, we made it easier for developers and landlords to build and own their own duct and fibre networks while minimising the infrastructure management burden. In the past 8 years, however, full fibre network deployment has rocketed, which means the appetite for alternative network (Altnets) providers to access existing duct space is more than most landlords can handle. Landlords with private duct networks are now expected to be telecommunications expects in terms of how they offer and facilitate communication provider interconnection and traversal of their private estate networks.

In 2025, telephony in the UK will change as we know it, thanks to the most fundamental upgrade to the way we make and take calls since the 1980s.

Our lives are entwined with technology. We see as it becomes more innovative than it was last week, more fluid than it was the day before. We see the constant improvements that it brings us and how it makes our lives easier instead of harder. Why then, when we often deal with the telecommunications industry does it feel like the reverse is true?

What a crazy year! Particularly for those of us who have moved into new jobs; whether that be through redundancy, business closure or simply because it was the right time for us to take the next step in our career.

So your business is pretty established, in fact you’ve outgrown your current premises...so you just move offices right?...and everything goes smoothly doesn’t it?

Being involved with delivering networks to commercial buildings for over 10 years, I have seen the trend move towards getting the best possible speed available. As more and more work is done online, the desire to have quicker speeds becomes one of the biggest drivers in today's market when looking for commercial space.

Though most devices now connect to the internet wirelessly through wifi, 4G, and (in the near future) 5G, most of the internet network actually relies on different types of cables. One of them is fibre optic. Instead of being made of insulated metal wires transmitting electrical signals, fibre optic cables are made of strands of glass transmitting pulses of light.
