Glide Group, UK provider of ultrafast broadband connectivity and fibre infrastructure, is supporting key workers at the new NHS Nightingale hospital in Bristol.

It is providing Wi-Fi connectivity to staff accommodation, for no additional cost, as part of its existing contract with the University of the West of England (UWE). The hospital is being built on the university’s Frenchay campus. Glide will provide wired and wireless broadband for the 300-800 key workers due to move in shortly.

 “These key workers go above and beyond, fighting on the front line against COVID-19, so we are proud to be able to support the NHS in this critical operation, by providing seamless connectivity to key workers at the new NHS Nightingale Hospital Bristol,” said Richard Jeffares, CTO, Glide Group. “We have invested heavily in our core network capacity in the last 12 months and are confident in our ability to cope with any increase in network traffic. We are pleased to play our small part in supporting the NHS and other critical workers around the country.”
