Our Network

The Foundation for Business Communications

The foundation of our business is our carrier-class Fibre Network with a 100Gig Ethernet core built over the last 14 years.

It is this Network which underpins the services we deliver - providing solid foundations for corporate Networks, the coverage to reach over 90% of UK businesses and the investments in security and equipment to power these services.

We have invested significantly in the Network over the years. The robust MPLS Network today enables Our Technology - VPLS technology with Nokia core switches at the core, ensuring it is one of the UK's most secure carrier Networks.

Network Control & Visibility

Our Network carries data for some of the UK's most regulated and data-intensive industries who demand the utmost control and security. As a result, we have invested heavily in tools which provide Network control and monitoring including:

Bandwidth Management - web-based monitoring and control of traffic on the Network without the need for investing in costly appliances.
Network monitoring and control - location and device reporting which include bandwidth throughput, latency and jitter.

Multiple Services over Exponential-e's Network

Our carrier-class homogeneous Network is a business only Network meaning it is not constrained by consumer traffic and is designed for data-intensive business users. Many of our customers choose us because of the VPLS enabled Network which enables our customers to converge multiple services over one connection.

From Cloud and Voice Services to Business Internet and multi-site corporate Wide Area Networks, our customers are running mission-critical services over our Network.

One end-to-end SLA

That covers the Network, business services and Cloud infrastructure. For many businesses having a separate provider for the Network and multiple providers for the variety of services which are required to run business operations, means numerous Service Level Agreements (SLAs). The disparity in service between providers can often result in conflicting performance and resolution times which impact business operations.

As Exponential-e owns its own Network and services are delivered over it, we provide a true end-to-end SLA which starts at the customer premises all the way through to the hosted services.
