The Digital Region network can provide your business with access to some of the best communications infrastructure in the world.

The network is expected to transform the way businesses in South Yorkshire operate. You can benefit from cost savings, work and productivity efficiencies and the highest level of network security.

It means innovative tools, content rich applications and cloud computing technologies can all run quickly and securely.

Cloud computing

Many businesses are already using cloud computing technology.

You may already make use of cloud technologies everyday on social media platforms like Facebook and software applications like Dropbox.

A superfast broadband connection means you can use these applications and technologies quickly, easily and securely.

Home working

The Digital Region network also supports home working, allowing employees in the South Yorkshire region to work at home as easily as working in the office.

The network enables secure access to files stored on work computers at superfast speeds. There are no long waits for uploads and downloads, large documents can easily be shared and team members can communicate via video conferencing. The power of Digital Region means users at different locations can collaborate effectively and efficiently.

These changes allow businesses to be more competitive, efficient and environmentally friendly.  Employee’s benefit by avoiding long commutes and employers benefit from increased productivity. The environment also benefits, thanks to reduced carbon emissions from vehicles and less congestion on public transport.

Multipoint connectivity

A single connection to the Digital Region network will be able to support multiple devices all working simultaneously and enjoying high speed connectivity.

This means you can work from home whilst not interrupting others from going about their online activities (for example online gaming, watching TV or downloading music).

Cost savings

Businesses can access some of the best communications infrastructure in the world and utilise services previously only available to users of ISDN, SDSL or leased line services. This delivers cost savings, work and productivity efficiencies, as well as the highest level of network security.

This is just the beginning…

In the past, new technologies have resulted in a wave of ideas, opportunities and markets that were unimagined before their invention.

This era of superfast broadband and digital technologies is only just beginning, but it promises to revolutionise our relationship with the Internet and computers.

Communications technology is entering a new paradigm and the Digital Region network has placed South Yorkshire at the forefront of these developments. It is an incredible opportunity for the region and will encourage growth of the local economy.
