Reliability

The widely documented catastrophic failures of BT's Manchester network infrastructure highlighted the importance of data and voice communications to public and private sector organisations of all sizes and types.

Wireless networks are not inherently reliable. Metronet's understanding of radio network designed, combined with its spectrum management expertise go a long way to ensuring that its services are dependable. However, in order to ensure that the Company delivers against its 99.95% Service Level Agreement, Metronet applies enormous focus and resource into monitoring and managing its network infrastructure: working behind the scenes to ensure that service availability and performance exceeds standards associated with traditional legacy network operators.

Base station sites are physically secure, and are equipped with power management facilities and full battery backup systems to ensure uninterrupted power supply, and protection against power surges.

Adverse weather conditions have no impact on the Metronet Network wireless broadband private circuits.

Metronet's wireless broadband private circuits are more reliable than private circuits delivered across multiple legacy networks, using hardware from multiple vendors, and which in turn is dependent upon a 70 year old copper wire infrastructure.

That the Metronet network is the choice of Manchester City Council, the Greater Manchester Police and Trafford Council for delivery of DVD quality, real-time CCTV streaming is a testament to the reliability of the network.
