Partnering with Entanet, we have access to one of the leading networks in the UK and Europe.

Entanet have invested heavily into developing a high quality, robust network to ensure reliable, high quality connectivity services to customers. By using the best Cisco network equipment and custom built in-house management facilities, we aim to ensure swift, secure transport of your business-critical IP traffic, with comprehensive SLAs guaranteeing 99.999% service availability and less than 0.1% packet loss.

The Entanet backbone stretches from Manchester to Frankfurt, with further connectivity into Amsterdam (AMSIX & NL-ix) and provides, via our vast network of partner organisations, circuits from 2Mbps up to 10Gbps.

Due to Entanet’s close working relationship with BT, the company has been highly influential throughout the design, development and implementation stages of BT’s 21st Century Network (21CN). This significant involvement coupled with heavy investment has enabled Entanet to develop its own robust Next Generation Network to ensure reliable, high quality connectivity services to its customers, including a new portfolio of wholesale and resale ADSL2+ services.

Entanet is expanding its existing MPLS based network to cover the 20 WBC nodes that form BT’s new 21C network, initially using Gigabit Ethernet Multi-Service Interconnect Links (MSIL’s). As capacity requirements increase at each node the MSIL’s will be upgraded to 10Gbps connections. By building out to all 20 WBC nodes Entanet is able to take delivery of individual connections onto its own network in order to deliver flexible and innovative solutions.
