Neos Networks has launched its new rapid activation proposition, enabling customers to order and use high-capacity optical connectivity in just five to 10 days.
The new proposition is powered by Neos’ recently re-architected network, including its first “super region” – a high-demand zone spanning London and the South East, connecting 131 exchanges and five key data centres with fully digitised, pre-provisioned infrastructure.
The first step in a strategic roll-out of interconnected regions nationwide, the new capability radically shortens the lead times typically associated with optical services, which have historically been more than 30 business days.
The launch is specifically designed to support ISPs, altnets and aggregators, who often face time-sensitive pressures to scale rapidly or respond to emerging demand. Whether it’s extending backhaul for regional expansion, managing AI-driven data growth or responding to enterprise customers’ evolving connectivity needs, the rapid activation proposition is built to support dynamic scaling needs.
Mark Charlesworth, director of product, digital and pre-sales at Neos Networks, said, “We’ve engineered our network to reflect what the market has been calling for – faster, smarter connectivity that doesn’t rely on manual processes. Our rapid activation proposition is a direct result of listening to our customer needs and providing the high quality and reliable services they expect from Neos.
“But this isn’t just speed for speed’s sake, we’re building super regions that give customers instant access to the connectivity they need, where and when they need it, with the transparency and reliability to match. This is an important foundational step that will underpin further rollouts across our network.”
Neos’ Livequote platform shows in real-time where rapid activation is available, giving customers full transparency and control. With automated contracting, precise inventory management and end-to-end API integration, Neos’ digital-first approach ensures not just speed, but repeatability and trust at scale.
This latest proposition is part of Neos’ broader customer-first approach, focused on reducing friction in service delivery, enhancing scalability and supporting the UK’s digital infrastructure as connectivity becomes an increasingly important pillar of its digital ambitions.
