About Zetta Connect
Zetta Connect is a young start up with a vision to transform the connectivity capability of the UK’s corporate infrastructure. Why connectivity? Without a well-connected, fast and robust link with the wider world, all modern business would flounder. However, the current method of connectivity is broken and does not meet the user needs of either the corporate landlord or their tenants. There is a user requirement for higher capacity connections, that are future proofed in their capability, with robust redundancies in place and which can be rapidly enabled within a short time frame to deliver connectivity for businesses. We recognised the failures in the established system in meeting these user needs and have disrupted the established connectivity model with an innovative mix of bespoke connectivity Design and Project Management Consultancy and physical connectivity infrastructure. We create business spaces that work.
