Powering Porton Science Park since day one

The challenge

Porton Science Park, a 10-hectare site next to Porton Down serving health, life sciences and defence tech companies, needed connectivity that matched its tenants’ specialist needs. Many operate in sectors that demand extra online security, so tenant data had to be kept securely separate.

The solution

twiin has provided fast fibre connectivity and bandwidth management through twiindata since the site launched in 2017. It lets PSP easily control each tenant’s internet access and securely segregate tenant data.
