Your network, at the right price

We’ve built our own network infrastructure so that we can offer you network connections that are tailored for your organisation.  Our relationship with Tier 1 carriers means we can combine several carriers into one, managed, network. Our network management team ensure that your network is seamlessly connected. This can help reduce your costs without compromising on quality.

International connections

Our network is available in a variety of bandwidths and access methods. Abtec’s network doesn’t end at the borders of the UK. It’s a global Ethernet network that can interconnect with ‘in country’ providers, in over 196 countries.

Resilience as standard

Unlike our competitors our network has resilience built in at its core. Further resilience options are available, such as DSL back up with the same static IP address through to secondary Ethernet connections delivered via an alternative node and routing.

Network access methods:

One of the benefits of using Abtec to provide your network is that you aren’t tied down to just using one carrier end to end.  We can combine several Tier 1 carriers and bring these together seamlessly over our core network.  This means you benefit from a secure, resilient network that’s incredibly good value.
