Oldham NHS Centre Integrated Care Centre extends its fibre-optic connectivity by appointing
ITSTechnology Group as their partner of choice for 20 year deal.

critical requirement to link the new site with Oldham Integrated Care Centre (part of the Royal Oldham hospital)

16 Companies have now signed up to +50mpbs service on a £2650 connection fee with £40 pm
• Further companies being targeted via JV with Oldham Council to secure 67 further connections by March 2016
