The Maltings iconic grade II listed building near the city centre, has become the first
building to be completely wired with fibre optic broadband. This provides every
tenant occupying an office at the business centre, the opportunity to have a direct connection to an ultrafast broadband service.
The Gigabit service will transform the way
businesses in The Maltings operate and provide a platform for innovation;
enabling services that are only possible with superfast speeds such as video
conferencing and VoIP, removing time limitations on information sharing and
benefiting from cost savings that come from services such as Cloud based
applications.
The ultrafast service has been provided
following funding supplied by the Super Connected Cardiff scheme from Cardiff
Council. Local Internet Service
Provider, Spectrum Internet, has provided a Fibre-to-the-Premise solution to TheMaltings supplying the building with broadband speeds up to 1Gbps.
Gareth Oram, Office Manager of the The Maltings
said “We’ve had a £3m refurbishment which means The Maltings now offers high
tech luxury Self-Managed and Fully Serviced offices that will now benefit from
super-fast broadband”. He added “The new
Gigabit service has future-proofed the building which is resulting in huge
efficiencies for our tenants. This service not only completes our offering of
providing ultra-modern services in a 19th century setting but is
also generating increased interest from prospective tenants”.
