Commsworld has successfully delivered Internet connectivity to major sporting events and festivals in Scotland over the summer in collaboration with SSE Enterprise Telecoms.
While demand for bandwidth has grown, so too has the installed-base of Commsworld's Fluency network which it acquired in 2012.
To guarantee its customers had access to fast and reliable Internet access Commsworld called on SSE Enterprise Telecoms to increase the capacity of its optical wavelengths quickly, without compromising the quality of the service.
The Fluency network now boasts greater capacity on its national routes between Edinburgh, London and Manchester. This extra capacity not only accommodates organic growth, it also enables Commsworld to cope with peaks in demand from major events without risking network congestion.
"We have experienced rapid growth in recent years and now supply internet access to a number of leading events across Scotland and beyond," said Charlie Boisseau, CTO of Commsworld. "Supplying significant bandwidth requirements to festivals and other popular sporting events means that we need flexible optical backhaul providers on-board that can allow us to meet huge peaks in demand without causing network congestion.
"Having worked closely with SSE Enterprise Telecoms for many years we were confident that scaling our optical network as and when needed would be quick and painless."
Colin Sempill, MD of SSE Enterprise Telecoms, said: "The summer can be a busy time for any company that counts major sporting events and festivals as clients.
"With our agile network in place, Commsworld can easily accommodate peaks in demand for its services."
