In 2010, Matthew Hare started Gigaclear as he saw the potential for full fiber technologies in rural areas. He planned to deliver brilliant broadband using ultra-fast fiber to the premises (FTTP) where distances aren’t a problem, unlike the old networks using copper cables.

Netadmin’s end-to-end automation allows us to consistently, predictably provision every service in the network, giving our customers and us complete visibility every step of the way on the path to brilliant broadband,“ said Matthew Hare, founder and Chief Executive.

Netadmin’s scalable solution lets Gigaclear grow almost without doing any manual work. The software has proven to adapt to many different network technologies, and when they added four new CPE models, it wasn’t a problem for Netadmin to provision these. As they grow, Gigaclear needs a solution with a flexible provisioning engine that can quickly provision their new equipment as new networks and technologies are added. Netadmin was able to provide them with this solution.

‘‘We chose to partner with Netadmin because their platform was well proven.”

– Matthew Hare, Gigaclear.

As they expand, Gigaclear has decided to go from a layer 2 to a layer three topology in their network to add more resilience and flexibility and support new products. Netadmin handles both these network topologies simultaneously, letting Gigaclear focus on more critical issues than customizing the software for different technologies.
