In addition, we offer PC, laptop and smart TV support, we can advise on options for broadband including FTTC broadband (also referred to as VDSL), fibre broadband (delivered by fibre optic cable FTTP), mobile broadband (that runs on the 4G & 5G mobile phone data network), microwave broadband (a fixed wireless broadband connection delivered by high capacity microwave radio link) and satellite broadband (that is beamed from space to a satellite dish installed on your property) and better Wi-Fi connectivity, plus advise on solutions for guest Wi-Fi, data backup and cyber security.

Our Services
Any time we connect to the Internet we are vulnerable to cyber attacks.
Individuals and small businesses are prime targets for cybercriminals.. Often they have the least-protected websites, accounts and network systems, making a cyber attack a relatively easy job.
So what precautions can we take to stay safe online?
Green Energy looks set to be part of the future, offering a cleaner alternative to many of today's energy sources.
Anaerobic Digestion (AD) Plants, Ground Source Heat pumps and Green Hydrogen Plants all have PCs, control panels and other devices that need to be connected to the Internet to allow control, monitoring and technical support to maintain a fully 24/7 operational status.
