The agreement will see the company interconnecting its core network with BT/EE’s 4G and 5G RAN, creating what it calls the Spitfire Unified Network. A spokesperson said that the network will offer “first class connectivity, better security, and flexible and innovative billing plans” to UK SMEs and IoT customers.
The spokesperson continued: ‘Spitfire already provides customers with significant choice and the ‘best fit’ of available next generation fixed line fibre and private network connectivity. This includes direct access into Amazon AWS/Microsoft Azure, and other cloud providers through Spitfire’s Cloud Connect solution.
"This will now be expanded to include 4G voice and 4G/5G data and IoT connectivity with Enhanced Mobile. Spitfire customers can now obtain a single unified network across their entire mobile and fixed line estate, for a true end-to-end solution without the need for data to traverse the public internet.”
Spitfire Network Services’ managing director, Harry Bowlby, said: “By adding Enhanced Mobile to our service offering, we complete the jigsaw by enabling our customers and partners to benefit from easy access to one unified network solution for all of their connectivity needs.
“In conjunction, they will continue to benefit from our experienced and highly trained UK based team providing the best levels of business class customer service.”
Alex Tempest, managing director of BT Wholesale, said: “We’re pleased to be working with Spitfire as they launch this new full MVNO service.
“Spitfire prides itself on its engineering capability to deliver innovative propositions and tailored customer service. We’re proud that Spitfire has recognised the value of our network and our ongoing investment, with our ambition to provide 5G anywhere in the UK by 2028.”
The Enhanced Mobile and Spitfire Unified Network solutions are intended to be available as of autumn of this year.
