Gamma expands UK ethernet build-out programme

Telecom’s provider Gamma has extended its build-out programme connecting 18 additional BT exchanges so offering partners greater reach to new clients.

This is an addition to the original 19 exchanges Gamma launched in 2016. Locations for the exchanges have been chosen to maximise the benefit for Gamma’s partners and customers, enabling them to reach businesses in 74,300 post code areas in the UK.

The telecom firm will also provide partners with competitively priced ethernet services in key locations, according to Gamma product director David Doherty.

The development is in addition to Gamma introducing TalkTalk as an additional carrier to expand its range and coverage for ethernet connectivity resellers, while underpinning Converged Private Networks, Gamma’s MPLS proposition.

The telecoms provider has 753 employees across London, Manchester, Glasgow, Portsmouth, Budapest and headquartered in Newbury.

Gamma supplies a broad range of communications to SMEs, the public sector and not-for-profit organisations, both through its network of Channel Partners and directly. Almost 80% of revenues are generated by its network of more than 900 channel partners. Its products include fixed telephony, IP telephony, hosted phone systems, broadband and data connections, mobile services, security and unified communications solutions.

Welcomm operations director Rachel Williamson said: “The expansion of Gamma’s Ethernet build-out programme to Nottingham and Leicester exchanges is a positive move in that we can provide high quality and competitively priced Gamma access to a number of our customers locally.”
