Broadband

What is it?

Just like your home broadband, Heathrow Broadband links your IT devices to the internet. Instead of using slow telephone wires we can connect you to anywhere using fast and reliable fibre cables routed via our Heathrow campus ethernet network.

What do we offer?

Affordable and flexible broadband

Broadband services are provided on a per-port managed or non-managed basis. Customer’s can connect their own device, be it an end user workstation, or use network equipment to distribute the internet connectivity across the demise.

Depending on the service option selected, it’s capable of providing internet connectivity to multiple customer locations across the airport, as well as integration with the wireless networks. The cross campus connectivity is securely routed between dedicated customer networks to create a private environment.

Our service options

Broadband Light

Ideal for a single location such as an office or retail store, this option is delivered as a separated connection via an ethernet RJ45 port, customers will need to provision their own router and firewall for connection to the internet.
