Businesses in Gateshead can now operate at speeds of up to an amazing 10Gigabits per second of bandwidth and has the capability of delivering speeds up to 40 Gigabits per second in the future.

This is thanks to Leader of Gateshead Council Mick Henry and General Manager of G-ti Robbie Michalangeli. Gateshead Council is rightly proud to be the first local authority in England to install the world class fibre network. This is a joint venture with Alcatel-Lucent from the 21 hectre site of Baltic Business Quarter.

G-ti’s network is as fast and reliable as any in the world. Any service provider can deliver any application to users on the network, currently to businesses only. The network will not only make businesses in Gateshead super efficient but will enable them to use new technologies and applications which could put them at the forefront of the business world.

Work can be delivered faster than ever before. This is an investment for the future.
