News: Digital Region Broadband secures another key partner
Digital Region Broadband (DRBSY Limited) has announced a partnership in which Digital Exchange Yorkshire Limited will take responsibility for delivering high speed broadband services to organisations across Sheffield and South Yorkshire.
It follows from the recently announced partnership in which Lakeside IT will take responsibility for delivering Digital Region services to organisations across Doncaster and South Yorkshire.
DRBSY secured 46,000 sq ft of colocation at the South Yorkshire data centre in Manvers as it signed up to be a provider for the £90m Digital Region. The company manages its own national IP network, used solely for business use and guarantees the highest service levels in the industry.
Neville Wilkinson, technical director, Digital Exchange said: "Digital Exchange has been providing telecoms, IT systems & support for over 15 years.
"The introduction of Digital Region connectivity into our portfolio was a natural fit. We see massive business benefits from this new offering and following careful consideration decided to add to our portfolio, a service which delivers high speed internet connections, yet ones that come backed with a guaranteed level of service."
The Digital Region project will bring continuous 25mb+ broadband to over 97% of South Yorkshire, including 550,000 homes and 1.3 million people. The project is financed by European, regional, local and private investment of over £90 million, including £30 million from the European Regional Development Fund.
A recent customer for Digital Exchange, who moved to a new premise on Sheffield Business Park, could only be provided with a speed of 0.25Mb using a traditional broadband connection due to their distance from the BT exchange and the route that the copper cabling took.
This had a significant impact on their business as they are reliant on being able to submit online orders for stock and equipment. It looked as though only an expensive fibre optic leased line would be able to offer the level of performance they required but connectivity using Digital Region was almost a miracle solution to their problem. Even though they were still over 1.5 Km away from their street cabinet (the average is just 500m) the company are now enjoying Internet download speeds in excess of 15Mb and all at the same price as the lesser performing broadband product.
Neville added: "We have another customer who we are currently migrating to a Digital Region connection and as they're located just ten metres away from their street cabinet we hope to break the record for Internet performance for a broadband-based provision in South Yorkshire."
George Taylor, founding partner and CEO of Digital Region Broadband said: "We are very happy to have a partner with the pedigree of Digital Exchange on board. We are already mutually engaged on a number of high profile opportunities and see excellent future growth for both our businesses, driven by our Digital Region. Nick and Neville have a brilliant team and I am confident that they will add huge value to the capabilities that the Digital Region offers."
