Sona Business, a wholesale internet, cloud and hosted UC solution provider, has entered the UK network market with a new flagship office in Hull.
The regional presence will be spearheaded by John McKindland who brings almost 40 years of experience spanning military telecoms, hardware manufacturers, networks and distribution.
His first telecommunications role was with the military as a Telegraphist before serving as a Morse Code operator then retraining on the Ptarmigan System.
“You could say I have experienced the evolution of modern telecommunications from dots and dashes on a morse key to the zeros and ones of data networking,” said McKindland.
McKindland then began selling cable TV and telephone services door-to-door before becoming an Account Manager at Rocom.
He said: “We’ve got a UK marketplace with different connectivity and hosted offerings but we’re all kind of fishing in the same pond. What we try to do differently is provide a more wholesale approach with access to more enterprise grade solutions.”
“In terms of the connectivity market, as a Layer 2 provider we are very keen to work with as many altnets as possible.”
