Virgin Media Business Wholesale, the fixed wholesale connectivity arm of Virgin Media O2 Business, has launched an enhanced core platform for National High Capacity Services (NHCS).
Virgin Media Business Wholesale’s NHCS offering uses the Virgin Media O2 fixed optical network to provide high bandwidth, ultra-low latency connectivity with no distance limitations. Now rolling out across the UK, the new NHCS core network provides an alternative way of provisioning these services, while retaining all key attributes of the existing NHCS service. It is based on dedicated switched Ethernet technology, delivered over an optical platform, with steadfast bandwidth, and following a fixed network path end-to-end.
Virgin Media Business Wholesale already operates a national Layer 1 optical platform, which has historically served all NHCS services. The new platform is an overlay to this existing network that allows for quicker, easier and more intelligent delivery of NHCS services. It will support the wider deployment of 10Gbps services for businesses and industries, as part of the company’s commitment to evolving its services to meet user needs and deliver an improved customer experience.
“The launch of our new National High Capacity Services core network is set to provide our partners with quicker and simpler provisioning to help improve their customer experience,” said Diego Tedesco, Wholesale Fixed Director at Virgin Media O2 Business. “I’m very excited to bring this enhanced capability to them.”
