SSE Enterprise Telecoms will upgrade Marston’s Telecoms network in the UK thanks to increased customer demand for more coverage.

Marston’s Telecoms will also use Edge Plus, a service which allows companies to interconnect with other leading network providers beyond the SSE Enterprise Telecoms’ network footprint.

Rob Derbyshire, operations manager, Marston’s Telecoms, said: "In order to deliver a fail-safe solution to UK businesses, as well as our own core network, we needed to create a highly secure and reliable infrastructure.

"We take pride in offering a resilient network built on a foundation of connections, which enables us to offer the best in network failovers. That’s why we looked for a trusted network partner to facilitate our growth as a managed service provider.

"SSE Enterprise Telecoms’ reputation and its extensive network footprint, combined with its ability to interconnect with other carriers, were paramount to our decision.

We view this as the start of a long and strategic relationship with SSE Enterprise Telecoms – our partner of choice for all of our ongoing optical and Ethernet requirements."

Colin Sempill, managing director of SSE Enterprise Telecoms, said: "We offer the capacity and service delivery assurances which are crucial as Marston’s Telecoms grows its business and becomes a trusted partner for its own customers.

"Our price comparison engine, LIVEQUOTE, is crucial to this, as it ensures that Marston’s Telecoms’ customers can always access the most robust network, in the fastest time, at the most cost effective price, no matter where they are in the UK."
