Bright Edge Networks Becomes the First Business Wholesale Platform to Make KCOM’s New Layer 2 Wholesale Product Available
Bright Edge Networks has become the first business wholesale platform to offer KCOM Layer 2 FTTPconnectivity services through its partner platform, expanding the capabilities available to MSPs, IT providers and telecom resellers through its industry leading partner portal, Beacon.
The new offering gives Bright Edge partners access to KCOM Layer 2 FTTP services through the same self-service wholesale environment already used for quoting, ordering and managing connectivity, voice and IoT services.
As a trusted KCOM partner, Bright Edge has worked to bring the new capability into its wholesale proposition with a focus on simplicity, control and partner experience rather than simply adding another product to its catalogue.
By taking KCOM services through Bright Edge at Layer 2, partners can benefit from a more commercially attractive proposition while still accessing KCOM’s network through the Beacon platform.
For Bright Edge partners, the service can now be ordered and managed through Beacon, removing the need to maintain a separate direct relationship with multiple carrier networks.
More control, without more complexity
Bright Edge has positioned the new Layer 2 capability as an extension of its wider wholesale strategy: giving partners access to leading UK networks while removing the operational complexity that can come with managing multiple carrier relationships.
Through Beacon, partners can check availability, place orders, manage provisioning and raise support tickets through a single environment, with Bright Edge acting as the first point of contact for service management and escalation.
By bringing KCOM Layer 2 FTTP into that model, partners gain access to a more flexible connectivity proposition without having to build or manage the wholesale relationship directly themselves.
Chris Byrd, Chief Technology Officer at Bright Edge Networks, said:
“Layer 2 gives partners significantly more control over how connectivity services are delivered and managed, which opens up a much broader range of technical possibilities.
“What was important to us was not just making KCOM Layer 2 available but making it easy to consume. By bringing it into Beacon, partners can access that capability through the same platform they already use for their other wholesale services, without adding another supplier relationship or operational process.
“That combination of flexibility and simplicity is exactly what we want Beacon to deliver.”
Elodi Fellows, Acting Head of Wholesale at KCOM, said:
“The launch of our new API-enabled Layer 2 FTTP product, Wholesale Fibre, marks an important milestone in the evolution of KCOM Wholesale’s service portfolio, and we’re proud that Bright Edge is an early adopter to take advantage of it. Our relationship is built on a shared commitment to delivering outstanding customer outcomes. The combination of Bright Edge’s renowned Beacon-led customer experience and KCOM’s highly resilient fibre infrastructure will enable even greater levels of service, efficiency and innovation for customers”
Sam Hales, Chief Sales Officer at Bright Edge Networks, said:
“Being the first business wholesale platform to make KCOM’s new Layer 2 Wholesale Fibre product available is a significant step forward for Bright Edge and our partners.”
“KCOM is an important network for many of our partners, particularly in and around Hull, and being the first wholesale platform to make KCOM Layer 2 FTTP services available gives us a genuinely differentiated offering.”
“What matters most to us though, is not simply being first. It’s about what we can build around the product. Through Beacon, partners get a much simpler way to access KCOM connectivity, with one portal, one support route and a much more streamlined experience from quote through to delivery.”
“The opportunity for us is to make accessing high-quality connectivity simpler, while giving partners more control and more flexibility in how they serve their own customers.”
Strengthening the Bright Edge wholesale proposition
The launch of KCOM Layer 2 FTTP services forms part of Bright Edge’s wider strategy to build a modern, multi-carrier wholesale platform for smaller and mid-sized partners.
Beacon already gives partners access to FTTP, SoGEA, leased lines, hosted VoIP, SIP trunks and IoT connectivity, with quoting, ordering and support managed through a single interface.
The addition of KCOM Layer 2 FTTP strengthens that proposition further, giving partners access to a more advanced connectivity option while maintaining the same simplified operational model.
Bright Edge will continue to expand the services available through Beacon, with a focus on giving partners greater choice, more control and fewer supplier relationships to manage.
