Award-winning broadband provider kits out Corby Business Park

Glide Group, a market leader in ultra-fast broadband connectivity, has announced that it is deploying its award-winning fibre infrastructure to supply Corby Gate Business Park.

Having previously deployed copper products in Corby, Glide has now chosen to upgrade its current infrastructure with Gigabit-capable fibre to support the creation of next generation work spaces.

For businesses, gigabit broadband means greater speed and higher productivity and aligns reliable, ultrafast broadband with agile working patterns.

With many companies considering a hybrid working approach, employees working from home require technology, such as cloud based work spaces and collaboration tools, that facilitate maximum efficiency and allow employees to continue working seamlessly from remote locations.

Tim Pilcher, CEO of Glide Group said: “Glide prides itself on its commitment to connect as many hard to reach businesses as possible, and our rollout in Corby will provide these organisations with award-winning fibre that offers fast and reliable connectivity.

"SME businesses took a hit in this pandemic and with the growing need for robust remote working and the very best WiFi, it is our priority to equip these companies with the best fibre connectivity possible. ”

Glide has challenged convention to transform thousands of businesses across the UK, bringing Full-Fibre broadband directly to business parks under served by larger ISPs.

Every metre of fibre that Glide lays in Corby is 10 Gigabit-capable.

Their entry-level services are FTTP (Fibre to the Premises) broadband, 100Mbit/s symmetric and up to 1Gbit/s (or more) leased lines to suit any business requirement.

In what is planned to be a two-phased approach, Glide aims to complete phase one by mid August.

Phase two will roll out new infrastructure and services to all business and retail parks in the east and north of Corby town centre, subject to approval.

Glide aims to complete phase two - which will upgrade the connectivity of approximately 700 businesses - by the end of the year.
