Our network: Powerful, reliable and well-connected

Our network services are based in the City of London. Our systems are highly-automated, self-monitoring and highly-reliable. Because of this, we can spend more time helping you get the most from our services - and deliver new, market-leading ways to help you to succeed.

Interconnects and carriers

Leveraging our own network capabilities and partner networks, we benefit from using six primary interconnects from a mix of Level 1 carriers and innovative companies (including BT Wholesale, BandX, Telecom 1 and Citrus), and employ technologies from Nokia, Ericsson and Telsys. Our ability to choose from alternative carriers lets us select the best quality call route and provide routing redundancy and fault tolerance.

Driven by innovation

Our track-record proves our ability to deliver ground-breaking services, and includes several 'world-firsts'.

We've used our own GenX software to get the greatest value out of industry-leading products from other top network vendors. Developed from the outset with a focus on quality and economic efficiency, GenX offers telecoms solutions that are high-performance and competitively-priced.

In 2008 GenX was superceded by GenY, offering the economies of VOIP, backed by the reliability of instant PSTN fallback. When it comes to cost efficiency, customers really notice the difference.
