We partnered with Weavers Court business park to design, build and manage the first ever 10G business park. This was a ground-breaking 50:50 venture agreed in July 2011, delivered in November and officially launched by the US Consol Kevin Roland in Feb 2012.

Weavers Court is a campus-style business park situated in the heart of Belfast. With some 45 tenants of different backgrounds and a high occupancy rate, the owners were keen to ensure that their excellent location and friendly approach remained relevant and competitive for the new generation of businesses starting up and choosing to locate in Northern Ireland.

TibusConnect proposed that Weavers Court provide every single tenant with a 10Gbp/s Internet connection. This Internet connection would allow ultra-fast connectivity to the general Internet, but also allow connection to the States and Europe using Project Kelvin. TibusConnect engaged its partner Hibernia Atlantic to provide the physical link and contracted a local cabling company to install the fibre to and around the business park.

Every tenant can enjoy synchronous Internet connections, ranging from 10Mbp/s through to 10Gbp/s, all provisioned within 24 hours (normally within the hour of request). Where traditional telecoms providers might take 10-12 weeks to provision such large capacity for an individual tenant, TibusConnect can have that tenant online and in business literally within hours: something that is particularly important to small start-ups. Tenants can also request short-term capacity increases for projects or defined periods, offering a degree of flexibility that is completely new to the market.

Each tenant engages with TibusConnect directly, selecting the type of Internet access best suited to their business need. Our connectivity allows each tenant to work with their partners and customers on a global basis, all from their business in Weavers Court.

We’re proud to have been right at the centre of such an innovative technical and commercial development, not just for Weavers Court, but for Northern Ireland.
