Neos Networks has launched its new rapid activation proposition, enabling customers to order and use high-capacity optical connectivity in just five to ten days, and helping ISPs and altnets meet demand for data-intensive applications like AI and edge connectivity.
It will also reduce typical lead times for optical connectivity by weeks.
The launch is specifically designed to support ISPs, altnets and aggregators, built to support scaling requirements, from extending backhaul for regional expansion, managing AI-driven data growth, or responding to enterprise customers’ evolving connectivity needs.
The new proposition is powered by Neos’ recently re-architected network, including its first “super region”.
This is a high-demand zone spanning London and the South East, connecting 131 exchanges and five key data centres with fully digitised, pre-provisioned infrastructure.
The first step in a strategic roll-out of interconnected regions nationwide, the new capability will shorten lead times typically associated with optical services, which have historically been over 30 business days.
After listening to its customers’ needs, the company launched its rapid activation proposition as a direct result, to deliver a network that meets requirements.
Mark Charlesworth, Director of Product, Digital and Pre-Sales at Neos Networks (pictured) explained: “We’ve engineered our network to reflect what the market has been calling for – faster, smarter connectivity that doesn’t rely on manual processes.
“This isn’t just speed for speed’s sake; we’re building super regions that give customers instant access to the connectivity they need, where and when they need it, with the transparency and reliability to match. This is an important foundational step that will underpin further rollouts across our network.”
