Fibre network operator Venus Business Communications has expanded its network as the government grant scheme Superconnected Cities gathers pace.
The network now provides 30 per cent more network coverage than before giving businesses in Euston, Camden, Whitehall and Westminster direct access to the Venus Dark Fibre Network.
The Venus Dark Fibre network delivers speeds of 10 gigabits per second and an uncontended service meaning that businesses experience no drop in speed during busy periods.
It also provides a symmetrical service, so businesses can upload and download data at the same fast speeds.
"There is growing demand from businesses across London for our network as they begin to realise that it provides a true fibre to premises service and can deliver very high bandwidth with access to a range of data centres," said Brian Iddon, Venus Business Communications' Director.
"We already have 14 points of presence across London that allows us to connect businesses directly to our network.
"This latest expansion increases this to 18 points of presence and the potential for thousands more businesses to connect to the Venus Dark Fibre network. Now our network passes hundreds of thousands of London postcode locations."
The new expanded network not only brings Venus Dark Fibre to more businesses across London it also brings the potential for future higher speeds of up to 40 gigabits per second.
"The government recognises that businesses require fast connectivity to compete in today's IT dependent market," added Iddon.
"With faster connectivity comes operational efficiencies and increased competitiveness. The government's Superconnected Cities schemes are stimulating businesses to get better connectivity and our network expansion provides our resellers and partners with the opportunity to exploit this scheme to its full potential in London."
Venus also announced the appointment of Sean Brown-Coleman as Account Manager. He joins from Virgin where he was the region's top sales person and ranked one of the top ten in the country.
"I'm very excited to be joining Venus as they are a young vibrant company that has been growing rapidly over the last 12 months and have innovative products and services to offer businesses," he said.
"I'm looking forward to contributing to the further rapid growth of the business particularly in the financial and multimedia markets."
