Today telecommunications are as much part of life as electricity and water . There are many telecommunications operators and service providers to choose from , and many companies can offer you a next-generation broadband network . These broadband networks will connect ultra-high-speed – 1 Gbps and above − to homes , offices and premises around your development , whether business park , residential community or mixed use .

Low-speed internet gives you poor online connectivity and limits what you can do . With optical fibre your development will enjoy a richer broadband experience and allow your tenants to use high-demand applications such as cloud computing and SaaS ( software as a service ).
