Our vision is simple yet extraordinary

We help UK businesses exceed their full potential through connection. We exist to ensure the UK has the best full-fibre networks and to provide the best gigabit-capable connectivity to UK businesses through our growing partner community.

This enables opportunity, progress, exploration, creativity, innovation and commerce. Rapidly advancing technology means there’s never been a more exciting time; for you, for your business, and for the future.

We are determined to maximise the potential of our capabilities and to create a nationwide full-fibre network that ensures UK businesses, communities and our partners are always at the forefront of those advances.

ITS Technology Group partners with InnovateHer to champion the next generation in Telecommunications.

Building social value and making a difference for the next generation

Founded in 2013, ITS is now an industry leader, providing UK businesses with super high bandwidth gigabit connectivity and broadband via a vibrant and dynamic wholesale and reseller partner programme.

A significant milestone was reached in early 2020 when investment giant, Aviva, injected £45M into the business to fast-track our full-fibre rollout plans. Since then, deploying further investment, we’ve built our Faster Britain network to pass nearly 450,000 UK business premises with an ambition to pass 1 million in the next few years, building social value and making a difference for future generations.

ITS is proud and passionate about our cause – including making sure that the next generation will benefit from these opportunities.

For example, we’re committed to supporting local school programmes in areas where we’ve built new networks. Plus, we’ve teamed up with InnovateHer, to bring a digital skills programme to female students of Blackpool, Liverpool & Manchester and promote STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths) to students in Bristol.

Our proposition

Our proposition is all about partnering in a way that suits you – from local resellers to multi-national players who have bespoke needs, to public sector organisations or businesses looking to take control of their own destiny with dark fibre infrastructure.

We’re proud to connect a nation of trailblazers, innovators and entrepreneurs, ensuring they have access to the fastest, most robust and future-proof full fibre networks out there, and we’re doing it our way.

We’ll always think bigger and more creatively, we come at things from our own angle.

We create the absolute BEST, most cost-effective ultrafast fibre networks.

Our History

Why we're different?

Our UK-wide network is open access and available to any partners on our programme. This allows you to compete in your chosen market, no matter your size or reach.

Relationships are everything

From partner listening events to continual feedback which feed service improvements, we’re in it together.

Levelling the national playing field

Our network is open access so once you’re signed up, any partners can use it.

People pushing boundaries

We’re excited by innovation and we want to be at the very forefront of new and developing technologies.

We’re an accredited civil builder networks

Think of it like having the “key to the city” in terms of access to building new gigabit-capable networks and using existing infrastructure.

The fibre itself is pretty modest, fine flexible strands of glass brought together in an awe-inspiring network, like a hidden city right beneath our feet. The super exciting part is that the network carries infinite possibilities, potential and opportunities to engage in the world we live in. We know a little creative thinking goes a long way.

The ITS team takes our job very seriously and works in total partnership with local authorities

Laying networks (like any infrastructure) can be a messy, disruptive business and we’re certainly not a fan of a rolling roadblock.

We like to keep things moving whenever possible and make it our business to minimise disruption, and re-use existing infrastructure wherever possible to maximise speed and efficiency. We can offer complete flexibility to our customers and even activate dormant existing lines of dark fibre that are lying in wait.

Our Products

ITS offers an exciting range of gigabit-capable, full fibre and ultrafast connectivity solutions, firmly supporting the government’s pledge to provide 85% gigabit capability by 2025. We deliver our solutions over networks using the latest design and technology, offering more flexibility than alternatives.

ITS core connectivity services can be delivered as Layer 3 or Layer 2 depending on whether a fully configured service is required. Layer 3 includes IP (Internet Protocol), while Layer 2 comes without IP, and you as an operator will interconnect your network with ours.

Faster Britain

We launched our ‘Faster Britain’ brand to make it easier for Partners and their end-users to access gigabit-capable internet connections.

The business now operates over 80 networks in areas of high business premise concentration across England, as well as providing services via a select number of network partners elsewhere for ‘off net’ provision.

ITS is a one-stop shop for all fixed connectivity needs across the UK. We also support specific service providers operating in segments such as multiple dwelling units (MDUs) and student accommodation.

Even against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, our journey continued to gather pace. During this period, we:

  • Designed and built a full fibre network to support real-world testing of connected and autonomous vehicles
  • Agreed a £15M partnership deal with another major provider
  • Launched a wholesale division
  • Were awarded a joint venture contract to lead the build and management of a 212km gigabit-capable network across the Liverpool City Region

Our aim is to be the best wholesale UK connectivity provider to businesses, offering a great combination of price, flexibility and service. To support this we’re rapidly growing, and aim to be a fun, dynamic, innovative organisation both to do business with and to be a part of. We are enthusiastic and driven – but these are more than words to us, but the values we live by.

If you want to join our Partner Programme or think you have the talent, drive, ambition, and creativity to be part of our team and help innovate our future, then get in touch with us today.
