City West Housing Trust has awarded Metronet a four-year contract for internet connectivity and wide-area networking. The contract began in May 2013 and is worth more than £500,000. City West’s offices around Manchester will now be connected at speeds of between 100Mbps and 1Gbps using a combination of fibre and high-capacity wireless technology.
Martin Barber, assistant director of ICT, City West Housing Trust, said, “Following our move to a state-of-the-art, co-located datacentre near Manchester’s Media City, we needed a reliable, forward-thinking partner to supply high-quality data links and through our procurement process Metronet blew away the competition.”
