TECHNOLOGY MATTERS

Glasgow is the first UK city to provide a combined cellular and   wi-fi network in all of its 15 subway stations.

  Technology Matters

Connectivity

Glasgow has one of the most sophisticated and competitive telecommunications environments in the world. Glasgow's telecoms are 100% digital and a number of providers operate in the city, resulting in highly competitive prices. Broadband provision includes cable, ADSL, SDSL, leased line, satellite and wireless, and the city has modern, high-capacity, fibre optic links.

Companies at the forefront of ICT are already located in Glasgow, including: JP Morgan's European software development centre; Dell's technology support centre; Morgan Stanley Institutional Securities; and Barclays Wealth Management.

Whether it is security of service, value for money, future proofing, or fast, reliable connections, Glasgow can meet and exceed the most demanding technology requirements of today's progressive companies.

  • BT has invested £50 million in broadband infrastructure.
  • Full security back up through dual routing.
  • Glasgow provides excellent wi-fi connectivity throughout the city. It is the first UK city to provide a combined cellular and wi-fi network in all of its 15 subway stations.
  • The city strives continually to maintain its position at the forefront of technology infrastructure. Chosen from 90 European cities, Glasgow was first as 'European City with Best IT and Telecommunications 2006/07'.

"The combination of excellent people, superb infrastructure and a can-do ethic makes this a perfect place to do business, and I cannot understand why anyone with telephone and internet-centred businesses would choose anywhere else."
