Set in the beautiful English countryside outside the town of Rugby and stationed on a former government nuclear bunker site now hosting racks of electronic equipment, the SMS teleport is carefully positioned with uninterrupted line of sight to over 100 satellites between 650 East and 650 West. It is just 2 m/s away via high-speed  fiber link from London, one of the global capital in telecom and financial services capitals, where it connects with major global peering points, the teleport is also in close proximity to England’s industrial heartland and largest cities.
