SoGEA stands for Single Order Generic Ethernet Access. You only need to place one order for your broadband data service and traditional phone line installation is not needed so costs fall.
It delivers the same performance and data rates as FTTC broadband as well as the same infrastructure and geographic availability. Future-proofing your business connectivity, as the UK moves to an all-IP network, has never been easier.
Future-proof connectivity
SoGEA provides an effective solution by using the existing fibre/copper network, making it available to more than 90% of premises across the United Kingdom. It is ideal for organisations wanting to remove the complexity of maintaining analogue telephony whilst preparing for the WLR withdrawal, and one that is more cost-effective compared to FTTC.
It allows a standalone broadband service, without having to bundle it up with a landline service. With more businesses worldwide moving over to digital solutions, such as VoIP telephone systems, traditional landlines are often no longer needed and are often more expensive. Most businesses use broadband, so the transition is an easy one.
Cut unnecessary costs and enjoy easier service provisioning
Cut costs
Because you are only paying for a broadband data connection, your monthly costs will be lower as the landline rental cost is no longer included.
Deal with only one provider
Everything comes from one place. You are no longer tied into a landline contract with another company. Benefit from only one point of contact and faster fault resolution.
Increased reliability
SoGEA uses an established network without the addition of a phone line so the chance of interference or an unstable connection is lower.
Quicker installation
You only place one order with us, making it quicker to install and minimising disruption to your business.
Great for homeworking
Many UK businesses are shifting towards a hybrid workforce, so having good connectivity at home has become essential for many. SoGEA is quicker to install, easier to manage and works well with hosted telephony products.
