FibreSpan, a provider of dark fibre solutions, has announced that it has increased the size and scope of its Soho network in London's West End.
Working in partnership with Sohonet, a network connectivity company dedicated to servicing Soho's film production and post-production industry, the company now has a complete fibre network operating across both the north and south of Oxford Street, as well as east and west of Regent Street, providing greater resilience and expansion capabilities.
A number of major film productions have utilised the network over the last year, exchanging significant volumes of material between post production houses
. Most recently, the new Bond blockbuster Casino Royale, along with Harry Potter, M:i III and King Kong.
Using its patent pending microduct technology, FibreSpan has laid new dark fibre to link the north and south networks that it deployed last year, which now services over 30 separate locations in the area. Customers are now benefiting from a quick and easy path to upgrade their connection speed to Gigabit and beyond, as well as benefit from enhanced resilience as digital delivery requirements continue to expand.
This latest build ensures that the network continues to perform flawlessly. Sohonet was attracted to FibreSpan's leased dark fibre solution as it provides unlimited bandwidth at a fixed cost, a package that is not available from incumbent providers.
