Fluidata and Metronet (UK) have agreed terms on a partnership that will enable Fluidata to wholesale Metronet (UK)'s Wireless proposition on a layer-2 basis to other UK ISPs and its direct customers.
The joint venture puts Fluidata into the upper tier of Metronet (UK)'s partners and positions them as a significant conduit for distributing its services across the UK for the foreseeable future.
Metronet (UK)'s wholesale wireless platform provides partners with an alternative to fibre in the ground.
Fluidata Sales & Marketing Director Phillip Oliver said: "The ability to use a wireless delivery mechanism means that service providers using our platform can add fully resilient services to their portfolio, while being able to install ultra-fast services into locations within a month that may have had long and difficult civil work requirements with traditional fibre technologies."
Andy Tatlock, Head of Channel Sales at Metronet (UK), added: "Our wholesale wireless offering liberates our partners from the typical constraints, limitations and lethargic nature of traditional Ethernet carriers."
