Neos Networks has been chosen to supply a new dark fibre network in Northern Ireland by Jisc, which supplies digital networks to the UK’s tertiary education and research sector.
The network will provide fibre connectivity between Jisc resources and data centres in the UK, Northern Ireland and key partner networks in Dublin.
The contract represents another phase in the ongoing overhaul of Jisc’s Janet Network across 15 UK regions. Neos recently completed a project delivering a dark fibre network for Jisc across the north west of England.
Sarah Mills, MD Wholesale and Smart Infrastructure at Neos, said: “The new network will deliver operational efficiencies for Jisc and enable it to continue to improve the services it offers to its members in the education and research arena.”
Neil Shewry, Deputy Director, Network Delivery at Jisc, added: “This network will provide future-proof connectivity to Jisc’s members and help to meet the increasing demand created by the ongoing shift to the hybrid learning environment.”
