UK – Ireland, Anywhere to Anywhere

The Geo fibre network is the most secure, reliable and robust in the UK. With over 3000km of fibre network serving organisations such as TalkTalk, BNP Paribas and the Welsh Assembly Government, the network reach and diversity of Geo’s network delivers leading edge connectivity for its customers.

The Geo network is now extending to Ireland, offering the only dedicated fibre network between the two countries. With Ireland a major commercial hub for European businesses, the new link will provide Anywhere to Anywhere connectivity between cities such as Dublin, Cork, and Galway to Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds and London.

A fully resilient solution

Geo’s development of two new subsea cable systems has resulted in the most advanced, reliable and diverse solution ever to connect Ireland and the UK. Together these initiatives offer the shortest resilient route across the Irish Sea and the shortest distance from Dublin to London (725km). Using the latest technology the new subsea cables will provide virtually limitless capacity, future-proofed for even the most demanding requirements.

Our network is the only dedicated fibre offering on the market, physically separate from other networks giving you the assurance and security of knowing exactly where your data routes. Fully integrated with Geo’s national network and extensive Irish footprint, Geo is the simple choice for all your data connectivity needs.

Deployment options

Our customers are empowered to manage as much – or as little – of the fibre as they wish. For our customers who prefer the autonomy of lighting fibre themselves we can provide layer one access; for those preferring a fully managed service we can provide a combination of layer one and two access through the provision of underlying fibre plus active transmission technology. Whichever option you choose, you are assured of the freedom to control and use your fibre however you like, and for whatever you like; upgrading as and when your business dictates for a truly scalable and affordable solution.
