Elevate Wholesale, previously known as Telcom, has agreed a strategic partnership with Flotek Group in the first of its collaborations in Cardiff, as the company spearheads the new Cardiff Hypercity network to connect organisations throughout the region.
This new partnership will allow Flotek to provide high speed full fibre to more than 5,000 businesses as part of the £7m network build contract awarded by Cardiff Council and the Welsh Government in 2024.
Cardiff Council, The Welsh Government and Elevate will hope to provide complete coverage of full fibre connectivity across the city by 2025.
Will Goodall, Head of Elevate Wholesale, said: “As the administrative, cultural, and commercial centre of Wales, it’s critical that businesses across the region have equitable access to digital technologies.”
Jay Ball, CEO at Flotek, said: “Being chosen as a strategic partner to deliver this critical service means we can now help more businesses grow by embracing digital services that were previously out of reach.
He concluded: “This partnership allows businesses to access these services without the high costs they were accustomed to, with the network providing access to previously unattainable services and significantly reducing their internet connectivity expenses by offering a more affordable solution.”
