Griffin has already participated in a number of
trials, including the advanced QoS trials and was the first customer for
BTW's 21CN wholesale Ethernet. Griffin has been leading the way with
network and product development in the channel for many years. They
recently added a fourth 622Mb/s interconnect into BTW's 20C network to
accommodate growth and now have multiple Gigabit interconnects into
BT21CN and several other Next Generation Networks. Griffin is planning
to double the capacity of their 10Gbit/s metro fibre ring installed last
year.
"Griffin has had a close working relationship with BT
Wholesale since we developed the UK's first Managed Broadband platform
for them back in 2003. Being first to market for our Partners is less
important than knowing that products work first time every time and are
fixed quickly when they go wrong. Our policy is to trial and test with
our suppliers as early as possible so that new products are brought to
market quickly without compromising quality," says Adrian Sunderland,
Griffin's CTO.
