Geo offers Dedicated Fibre Networks on its existing 2400km UK network which connects all the major commercial centres including Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. The Urband network allows Geo to extend these Dedicated Fibre Networks to public and private corporations from Docklands and the City to the West End.

Geo is also working on a related deal with Thames Water to extend the current Urband network to new London locations within the M25 using the sewers. This will enable Geo to install customers on the new network quickly and cost-effectively with minimal street-work disturbances.

London is the dominant metropolitan telecoms market in the UK and the Urband network is a perfect addition to Geo's high quality national network. This secure, fibre-rich non-legacy network will allow us to provide Dedicated Fibre Networks throughout the London region to meet the needs of the most demanding network user, says Chris Smedley, Managing Director of Geo.

Geo currently has a number of customers using its state of the art national network including mobile operators (one of which is 3), carriers, service providers and end users.

About Geo
Geo is the UK's newest national telecommunications network and has a single focus: supplying infrastructure services to large businesses and telecom providers. Backed by Hutchison Whampoa, Geo strips complexity from telecoms provision to allow large businesses to purchase infrastructure directly and create their own networks. Because the company owns a completely new future-proof network, it is scalable and robust. Building on previous investment of £250m, Geo is set to become the market leading provider of Dedicated Fibre Networks.
