More About Stream Networks
Stream Networks operates as a managed service provider focused on business-grade connectivity, cloud infrastructure, and communications for organisations in the UK. Its services are structured to support enterprise IT teams, channel partners, and public-sector bodies that require managed networks, secure access to applications, and hosted platforms with defined service levels. Stream Networks positions its portfolio so customers can source connectivity, hosting, and voice services from a single supplier with integrated management and support.
On the connectivity side, Stream Networks delivers managed internet access, private WAN, and SD-WAN (networking) built on carrier-grade networks and Ethernet, broadband, and wireless access technologies. Services typically interconnect customer sites, data centres, and cloud environments, with routing and Quality of Service (QoS) policies managed by Stream Networks. The company references standard networking protocols and architectures commonly used in enterprise WANs, including Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) and IP-based VPNs, alongside SD-WAN overlays that provide centralised policy control and traffic steering.
In cloud and hosting, Stream Networks offers virtualised infrastructure and colocation services (cloud infrastructure) hosted in UK data centres. Customers can deploy virtual machines and workloads on Stream Networks platforms or place their own hardware in colocation racks, while using Stream Networks connectivity for low-latency access. The company highlights use cases such as production hosting, Disaster Recovery (DR), and offsite backup, with options for private interconnects between customer sites and hosted resources. These services align with typical Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and data centre hosting categories in enterprise architectures.
For communications, Stream Networks provides IP-based voice, SIP trunking, and hosted phone systems (UCaaS / voice). These services use Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) protocols such as SIP and Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) and are designed to interoperate with customer PBXs, IP handsets, and softphone clients. When combined with the company’s connectivity, the voice services fit into converged network designs where data and voice share the same access circuits under managed QoS policies. This approach is commonly used by enterprises that want predictable performance for telephony without running separate voice networks.
Security is delivered through managed firewalls, secure internet breakout, and associated services (network security). Stream Networks typically combines perimeter firewalls, Virtual Private Network (VPN) termination, and content or threat filtering with its WAN and internet access products. This places the company within the secure networking and Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) segment, where connectivity and security policies are administered as a unified service. The managed services element includes monitoring, configuration changes, and incident response within defined service windows.
Across these areas, Stream Networks is positioned in marketplace categories such as business connectivity, SD-WAN, secure WAN, cloud infrastructure hosting, colocation, and Unified Communications as a Service (UCAAS). Its offerings are used by enterprises that want third-party management of network and hosting platforms, by organisations implementing hybrid on-premises (on-prem) and hosted architectures, and by partners that resell or bundle connectivity and cloud services under channel arrangements. The portfolio maps to standard enterprise IT domains: networking, security, infrastructure hosting, and unified communications.
