The business technology specialist and independent service provider will integrate the mobile operator’s converged network, international roaming and associated services into it’s own offering to customers.
Bamboo becomes the first new Vodafone UK service provider in over a decade. It claims the agreement allows them to keep employees connected to their colleagues, customers business systems wherever they are working.
‘Significantly boost offering’

“Our partnership with Vodafone allows us to significantly boost our offering with the scale, innovation and efficiency of its trusted network and international voice and data services.”
Flexible working and an increase in cloud computing is influencing enterprises to access converged fixed and mobile networks that can scale in line with the demand they receive.

“Through Bamboo, more organisations will be able to benefit from access to the capacity and flexibility of Vodafone’s wholly-owned and highly-secure global IP network, combined with our unbeatable 4G mobile network and associated services.”
