Spectra Group (UK) Ltd is a leading provider of secure communications and military grade IT networks.

Serving Defence and Security, Aid and Emergency and commercial organisations, Spectra delivers solutions specific to their customers' needs - offering industry leading technology from world-class manufacturers, alongside their own proprietary technology, resulting in truly bespoke and fit-for-purpose end-products that are reliable, resilient, and deployable.

IT Networks and Information Security

Spectra has extensive experience in delivering and supporting Information Systems in both static and deployed locations. Confidentiality of information in all security scenarios is paramount in the design of every network, often deployed in hostile environments and requiring connectivity to a static HQ and other deployed locations. Integrity of the data over its entire life cycle is vital and the ongoing availability of that data ensures the user experience is fully maintained and secure.

Spectra has built networks ranging from Further Education learning environments to ones that are globally secure and robust for Special Forces deploying into hostile locations.

Whatever the scope - Spectra can design, deliver and maintain a solution to match the most challenging needs.

The Spectra Group NOC

Quality of Service (QoS) is paramount and Spectra's Network Operations Centre (NOC) runs 24/7 to ensure levels are maintained at all times and to provide remote assistance to our customers, at any time and wherever they might be. The centre provides monitoring, helpdesk support and fault resolution to deployed assets, delivering secure and reliable voice and data telecommunications and private protected network availability.

The Specialists in YOUR Team

Spectra boasts an experienced personnel that takes pride in, and ownership for, the services we provide. They understand the critical nature of providing reliable communications in remote and hostile areas. As a result, they operate in a proactive manner to resolve issues, before problems arise.

We take Ownership

Some say that service is an intangible. We disagree. When our customers are battling the forces of nature, and sometimes other forces, having robust and reliable communications is a very tangible requirement.

Spectra takes the responsibility of providing, what can be, life-and-death communications very seriously and is fully committed to ensuring that technically, and functionally, we exceed our customers’ expectations.

Whether at first contact, or in the depths of a crisis, you will find Spectra responsive and able to deliver the assurance you need - when it matters the most.

Communication

Communication is more than a product or a concept, it is what great relationships and excellence in service delivery are built upon.

For us, it is key to keep all stakeholders informed of situations as they progress. In addition to providing the fact of the situation we are able to provide advice on possible courses of action.
